Triolet, after Catullus. "Jucundum, mea vita."

by Edmund Gosse

1. Happy, my Life, the love you proffer,
2. Eternal as the gods above ;
3. With such a wealth within my coffer,
4. Happy my life. The love you proffer, —
5. If your true heart sustains the offer, —
6. Will prove the Koh-i-noor of love ;
7. Happy my life! The love you proffer,
8. Eternal as the gods above!
