-- There is no joy all set apart from pain, The opening bud has loss as well as gain. The brighest dewdrop gems a bending flower, The rarest day has wept one little shower; But wholly blest the parting pain and ruth That hold and fold the joining love of youth.

There is no joy all set apart from pain,
The opening bud has loss as well as gain.
The brighest dewdrop gems a bending flower,
The rarest day has wept one little shower;
But wholly blest the parting pain and ruth
That hold and fold the joining love of youth.
