Ye careless souls, be wise,
Of Time's swift course beware;
For, like the meteor's glare,
As soon as seen, it dies.
To life fresh power give:
Spend not your lives in ease,
Each passing moment seize,
And in the future live.
Awake from lethargy!
Behold, time swiftly flies,
Like lightning o'er the skies,
Into eternity.
