XYTHEN lyeu love a girl and girl loves YOU

And on a country leas
or on city street,
There's softer breeze
And an air more sweet.
And al Of the world is place made new,
When yousloye a girl and girl loves you!
g o whether alone or in a throng,
~ Your lips are humming happy song;
Your eyes are glowing.
Your heart beats high,
And life goes flowing
serenely by;
and all of the fairy tales are true.
Wien you love a girl and the girl loves you!
AXIHEN YOU care for girl and she doesu' caro-
w The world Is a desert bleak and have,
So my wise is therefore
Thus expressed:
May the girl you care for
Love you best"
and Till journey Of life is through
May the gin. you love be in love with you!
