"Thy life is a riddle to bear rapture and sorrow
To listen, to suffer, to entrust unto tomorrow
In one fleeting moment from the land doth life flow
Yet in one fleeting moment for anew it doth grow
In the same fleeting moment thou must live, die and know"

life, riddle, rapture, sorrow, listen, suffer, entrust, flow, grow
live, die, know
