Nothing lasts forever

No one lives forever

Keep that in mind, and love

Our life is not the same old burden

Our path is not the same long journey

The flower fades and dies

We must pause to weave perfection into music

Keep that in mind, and love

My beloved, in you I find refuge

Love droops towards its sunset

To be drowned in the golden shadows

Love must be called from its play

And love must be born again to be free

Keep that in mind, and love

My beloved, in you I find refuge

Without seeing my love, I cannot sleep

Let us hurry to gather our flowers

Before they are plundered by the passing winds

It quickens our blood and brightens our eyes

To snatch kisses that would vanish

If we delayed

Our life is eager

Our desires are keen

For time rolls by

Keep that in mind, and love

My beloved, in you I find refuge

Beauty is sweet for a short time

And then it is gone

Knowledge is precious

But we will never have time to complete it

All is done and finished

In eternal heaven

But our life here is eternally fresh

Keep that in mind, and love

(Rabindranath Tagore, 1861-1941)
