Lyrics
With them the seed of Wisdom did I sow, And with my own hand wrought to make it grow; And this was all the Harvest that I reap'd : "I came like Water, and like Wind I go." See! from the world what profit have I gained? What fruitage of my life in hand retained? What use is Jamshid's goblet, once 'tis crushed? What pleasure's torch, when once its light has waned? Here in this tavern-haunt I make my liar(= my shelter ), and with wine and cup I build a heaven.... hear, Like skeptic monk, or ugly courtesan, No hopes I have above, no joys below. I know the outwardness of existence and non-existence I know the inwardness of all that is high and low But all this logic will cheerfully renounce, If one a higher grade than drink can show.
