Youth sleeps and dreams of the future Old age stirs and dreams of the past To youth the sun it slowly rises To the old the sun it sinks too fast All hearts are gladdened by the light That grows brighter towards the tunnel's end And all hearts are saddened by the dark That descends, unnoticed, onto a beloved friend A happy light bathes in the starlit sky And glows from birth until death Where youth and old age are fused in time Within the first and the very last breath.
