The Brevity of Life
Man's life is but a fleeting second in the fabric of eternity...

         The Brevity of Life

What is man, but a vapor?
A mist eaten by the rising sun
He is born in the morning
And by noon his life half done
By twilight his time is full
With the setting of the sun
And ere the light recedes
The sun and man fade as one
