And then there was a time in life

When all my virtue, all my strife

Reached the glory of eternal wisdom

And I looked back, and I found me cry

At the door of fate, at the mercy of thought

But how long would this strife last

It had to come to an end, Alas!

The end has come that sealed the lips

And door of virtue has a lot to give
