1. Make life easy on yourself, live graciously, it calms
Rarely have you settled except for peace

2. Accept life's ups and downs
Be content with it whether smooth or rough

3. How much pleasure in an hour you attained
It passed as though it had never been

4. Guard whatever you want, for decay
Proceeds with what you guarded and didn't guard

5. You feel safe though days betray
Never did we see a single day not betray
