1. I was sure life would never
Break your heart one day with me

2. Life is but idle talk
Between blame and reproach

3. Life and death
Building and ruin

4. Ease and poverty
Exile and return

5. How many eminent we saw
Fall low after rising high

6. And lowly ones fate
Veiled in obscurity

7. Blame not the days
For coming and going

8. Blame those who strayed
From the path of right
