 ... 

All things that we clasp and cherish
Pass like dreams we may not keep;
Human hearts forget and perish,
Human eyes must fall asleep.

2. Memory  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Unmindful of the roses,
Unmindful of the thorn,
A reaper tired reposes
Among his gathered corn:
So might I, till the morn!

Cold as the cold Decembers,
Past as the days that set,
While only one remembers
And all the rest forget, --
But one remembers yet.
