The Springtime of Life 1914 'The Debutante'

[Elaine:] My life is like a boat
that's sailing on a sunlit azure sea
Away;
Love is the pilot,
he is guiding to a land unknown to me
Today.

A distant island undiscovered
ev'ry happy girl must find at last,
Ah! may the journey be as happy
as the dear days past.

The springtime of life is fairest,
the future a pearl appears,
and the days that to us are the rarest
are seen thro' the mist of years.
Dream days! Fondly we gaze,
then time gently turns the page,
and the things that we dreamed
are not what they seemed
in the beautiful golden age.
