Where are the generals and ministers of ages past? Their graves are overgrown with grass!
Everyone knows the immortals are wonderful, yet no one can forget gold and silver!
All your life, you regret not gathering more. Once you have enough, your eyes close for good!
Everyone knows the immortals are wonderful, yet no one can forget a beautiful wife!
While you're alive, she speaks of love every day. When you die, she goes off with someone else!
Everyone knows the immortals are wonderful, yet no one can forget their children and grandchildren!
