[Here we've wander'd some few hours]
[The metal sleeps in its hidden vein]
[We count men subject to mortality]
[If I must die when all is said and done]
[If we saw these things clear, what then?]
[A skeleton typifies Death.]
[What! am I too grown old? How days have hasted!]
[A mystic tracery of Stars]
[All things freely flow]
[O young Man! cast off cowardice]
[I hear the hum of earth, alive and merry]

[All stupid folk are self-complacent too]
All
stupid folk are self-complacent too,
Because they never see the harm they do.
