Shone beauty and pleasure-her triumphs are by;
And the memory of those who loved her and praised
Are alike from the minds Of the living erased.
The hand OF the king that the sceptre hath borne;
The brow OF the priest that the mitre hath worn;
The eye of the sage and the heart of the brave.
Are hidden and lost in the depth Of the grave.
The peasant whose lot was to sow and to reap,
The herdsman,who climbed with his goats up the steep,
The begger. who wandered in search of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass we tread.
The saint who enjoyed the communion Of heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain unforgven,
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust.
So the multitude goes like the flower and weed,
That wIther away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes, even those we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been told.
For the same things fathers have been;
We the same sights that our fathers have seem
We drink the stream, and feel the same sun,
And run the same course that fathers have run.
