1. The free men are gone, extinct, vanished,
And time has left me on the mountain ridges.

2. They said, "You've stuck too close to home!"
I said, "Without purpose, what's the point of going out?"

3. When I see them, who resemble
Apes mounted on coaches,

4. It was a time when generosity was glorious,
Exalted to the highest celestial mansions.
