O WORLD！ O Life！ O Time！

    On whose last steps I climb

    Trembling at that where I had stood before；

    When will return the glory of your prime？

    No more—oh never more！

    Out of the day and night

    A joy has taken flight：

    Fresh spring and summer and winter hoar

    Move my faint heart with grief but with delight

    No more—oh never more！
