1. Illusion led us to believe we had strayed
And made our home in the abode of evil

2. We resist whom we passionately desire
By God's decree in the revolving sphere

3. While man is but brief existence
Your friend may remain and dwell

4. Perhaps the joints of the building
Will be plaster for the pavilion and wall

5. All people have hopes
But destiny acts with power

6. Their positions are but a setting
In constant rise and fall

7. If what comes is fate
My waiting takes nothing from beginning
