By ending its beauty, Age or the course of time sweep it away, Soon deflowers its splendour. Flower turns into fruit, gem into mud, Man turns to dust, and to d**h Paying his tribute here below. For his life, for his being are Sorrow, pain, necessity To end in d**h. So d**h shuts life, mourning shuts laughter, Shadow shuts daylight, the tide shuts the sea And night shuts morning.
