What eases hardship is that time is ever-changing,
Hardships seem light when time brings change,
and that its days are turns of fortune among humankind,
As days revolve throughout the world,

and that whatever brings joy or sorrow will depart
What was secret or grieved is moved on,
from us; if not, we shall depart from it.
Except us, for we move past them.
