Hours fly,
Flowers die.
New days,
New ways,
Pass by.
Love stays.

Live ye, he says, I flee.

Live ye, he says, I flee.

As the long hours do pass away,
So doth the life of man decay.

O God! methinks it were a happy life
To be no better than a homely swain;

O God! methinks it were a happy life
To be no better than a homely swain;
To sit upon a hill, as I do now,
To carve out dials, quaintly, point by point,
Thereby to see the minutes, how they run--
How many makes the hour full complete,
How many hours brings about the day,
How many days will finish up the year,
How many years a mortal man may live;
When this is known, then to divide the times--
So many hours must I tend my flock,
So many hours must I take my rest,
So many hours must I contemplate,
So many hours must I sport myself;
So many days my ewes have been with young,
So many weeks ere the poor fools will ean,
So many months ere I shall shear the fleece.
So minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years,
Passed over to the end they were created,
Would bring white hairs unto a quiet grave.
Ah, what a life were this!

True as the needle to the pole,
Or as the dial to the sun.

True as the needle to the pole,
Or as the dial to the sun.

Amende to-day and slack not,
Deythe cometh and warneth not,
Tyme passeth and speketh not.

I go away and come again each day,
But thou shalt go away and ne'er return.

I go away and come again each day,
But thou shalt go away and ne'er return.

Let others tell of storms and showers,
I'll only mark your sunny hours.
