If Life gives friends,
'Tis Death that keeps them true;
When living long
Time proves them false and few;
So Life's a boon
When Death is coming soon.
Life has no joy
Except we cherish some
Illusive dream:
If Wisdom come,
Life were no boon -
Did Death not come more soon,
I loved a maid
Time has proved false to be;
Would Death had come
When true that maid to me!
Life were a boon
Had Death been coming soon.
