作词:Robert Bridges

作曲:Gustav Holst

Sorrow and joy two sisters coy

Ay for our hearts are fighting

The half of our years are teen and tears

And half are mere delighting

So when joy's cup is brimm'd full up

Take no thought o' the morrow

So fine's your bliss ye shall not miss

To have your turn wi' sorrow

And she with ruth will teach you truth

She is man's very med'cin

She'll drive us straight to heav'ns high gate

Ay she can stuff our heads in

Blush not nor blench with either wench

Make neither brag nor pother

God send you son enough of one

And not too much o' t'other
