What is life, but a vanishing vapour?
What are dreams, but vanishing films of smoke?
What is hapiness, but brightness that blinds in the dark?
What is love, but a lying reflection of the stars?
What is peace, but the calmness of the sea before the storm?
What is knowledge, but a leaven of sorrow?
What is youth, but a dying flower?

What is death, but a passing phase?.
