All Things Will Die! by Evoung(m): 7:50am On Sep 08, 2014 |
All Things will Die Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing Under my eye; Warmly and broadly the south winds are blowing Over the sky. One after another the white clouds are fleeting; Every heart this september morning in joyance is beating Full merrily; Yet all things must die. The stream will cease to flow; The wind will cease to blow; The clouds will cease to fleet; The heart will cease to beat; For all things must die. All things must die. Spring will come never more. O, vanity! Death waits at the door. See! our friends are all forsaking The wine and the merrymaking. We are call’d–we must go. Laid low, very low, In the dark we must lie. The merry glees are still; The voice of the bird Shall no more be heard, Nor the wind on the hill. O, misery! Hark! death is calling While I speak to ye, though The jaw seems firm and strong, it shall surely fall weak, The brown cheek will soon pale, The strong limbs will fail; Ice with the warm blood mix; The eyeballs fix. Nine times goes the passing bell: Ye merry souls, farewell. The old earth Had a birth, As all men know, Long ago. And the old earth must die. So let the warm winds range, And the blue wave beat the shore; For even and morn Ye will never see Thro’ eternity. All things were born. Ye will come never more, For all things must die. Each day goes bye but we all have forgoten that, as each day pass, we all are going a step down our cold grave. It shall come like a dream, for all things must die. Live a meaningful life brother, FOR ALL THINGS MUST DIE![color=#770077][/color] |
