I think I know...
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Usually, when I have heard that puzzle, the final question is "What is the Bus Driver's name?" Which is normally just as easy/hard as determining the color of the bus driver's eyes.
