¶Lyrics / Text

So fly our months and years, Thus roll the seasons on; Till death the curtains drop, And life's gay scene is done. O let each moment then Be precious in our eyes, And let our actions show That we are truly wise. If we are rich, may we Be friends to those that want; Nor their request refuse, While in our power to grant. If we are poor, let's still Be rich in sweet content, And thankfully receive The little heaven has sent.
