Once in Persia reigned a king Who upon his ruling ring Etched a caption true and wiseWhich if held before his eyes Gave him counsel at a glance Fit for every change and chanceSolemn words and these are they 'Even this shall pass away'Trains of camels through the sand Brought him gems from Samarcand Fleets of galleys through the seas Brought him pearls to rival theseBut he counted little gain Treasures of the mine or main "What is wealth?" The king would say "Even this shall pass away"In the revels of his court At the zenith of his sport When the palms of all his guests Burned with clapping at his jestsAmid his figs and wine Cried, "Oh, loving friends of mine Pleasures come but not to stay Even this shall pass away"Towering in the public square Way up high into the air Rose his statue, carved in stone Of the skies unknownGazing at his sculptured name Musing meekly, "What is fame? Fame is but a slow decay And even this shall pass awaySick and tired and frail, finished, beat and old Waiting at the Gates of Gold Speaking with his dying breath "Life is done so what is death?"Then in answer to the king Fell a sunbeam on his ring Blinding light through fading gray 'Cause even this shall pass away Even this shall pass away Even this shall pass Even this shall pass away, away, away, away
