Original text and translations

English text

Leaflets the greenest
   Wither away,
Flowerets the fairest
   Droop and decay,
Splendors of sunset
   Darken in night,
Streamlets in ocean
   Vanish from sight.

Yea, and youth’s vision,
   Brighter than gold,
Fade like the floweret,
   Struck by the cold.
Strong hearts of manhood,
   Proud of their own,
Fall like the harvest,
   Ripened and strown.

Spring scatters sweetness,
   Born of the dew;
Day stars the morning,
   Herald anew;
Fountains resparkle,
   Fed by the rain;
Hearts blossoms blighted,
   Live not again.
