1. We rose burdened with all we had gained
And he will grant us pardon for it all

2. My thoughts shed the love of money from me
And found in life my desires prolonged

3. And my body becoming frail in my frame
Is harder on me than weakness and age

4. Misfortunes will strike their like in me
Crushing me though I grow no weaker

5. And the torrents of time will take me down
To a valley from my mountain and palm
