1. Like as the damask rose you see;
Or like the blossom on the tree;
Or like the dainty flower of May;
Or like the morning of the day;
2. Or like the sun, or like the shade;
Or like the rose that soon will fade;
Even such is man, whose thread is spun,

The flower fades, the day is past;
The sun is set, the shadows fly;
The rose consumes-so mortals die!
