Sing no mournful song ever
For we do not dwell forever.
Sing the main of eyes and the edge of heart,
For we shall die and everything part.
Sing of everyday beauty that makes life songful,
Sing of everyday little things you do, for joys are soulful.
Sing of life, sing of love, sing of truth
Make then life attain all fruit.
Sing sorrows not, sing sadness not.
For joys are invaluable, sing the heart.
Sing all spheres— sing the sky and the earth,
Sing sweetness—sing every little dearth
And strive to make life good,
How our life be truly should.
