1. How I wish the days would arrange for you
To live without sorrow or hurt

2. To live while your eyes see only contentment
And discontent is far removed from you

3. O heedless one, you wished for a cloak
That dreams had woven and stitched for you

4. This is history, ask those who
Lived happily before you, people do sleep

5. Wondrous is he who is lost in slumber
And tomorrow he will sleep long in dirt
