1. Hurry, for youth is an orchard
Of beautiful, blossoming trees,

2. And youth has a gentle breeze
Sweet as ambergris.

3. Between us flows a slender stream
Whose little waves seem pearls.

4. What servant of God has said
More truth than words can tell?

5. Hurry, for time is a haughty king
Who will not wait for the wise to heed him.
