FROM 'THE GIPSIES'

(LES BOHÉMIENS)

To see is to have. Come, hurry anew!

Life on the wing

Is a rapturous thing.

To see is to have. Come, hurry anew!

For to see the world is to conquer it too.

* * * * *

So naught do we own, from pride left free,

From statutes vain,

From heavy chain;

So naught do we own, from pride left free,--

Cradle nor house nor coffin have we.

But credit our jollity none the less,

Noble or priest, or

Servant or master;

But credit our jollity none the less.--

Liberty always means happiness.
