"Pretty Eyes, Pirate Smile..." --- Elton John "Tiny Dancer"(?)

> How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
> 美しい頃のわたしに惹かれ、愛してくれた人は何人いたかしら、
美しい頃のわたしを、いつわりでも、本気でも、何人愛してくれたかしら、
でも、巡礼みたいなわたしの心を愛してくれた人もいたわ、
あの人は、老けていくわたしの顔のかげにひそむ悲しみを愛してくれた－－

> Some think it a matter of course that chance
Should starve good men and bad advance,
That if their neighbours figured plain,
As though upon a lighted screen,
No single story would they find
Of an unbroken happy mind,
A finish worthy of the start.
Young men know nothing of this sort,
Observant old men know it well;
And when they know what old books tell
And that no better can be had,
Know why an old man should be mad.

> As to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm’d in jollity,

Oh, come away, Child in a Manger
To the waters and the wild
With a #faery hand in hand
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand.
