Whose finger threatens us and says 'Remember	C
The quivering Sorrows will soon be shot	B
Into your fearful heart as into a target	B

Like an actress who disappears into the wings	E
Every instant devours a piece of the pleasure	C
Granted to every man for his entire season	D

Whispers Remember Immediately	A
With his insect voice Now says I am the Past	B

My metal larynx does not speak O frivolous man	M
These minutes rich in gold slide past thou art not young	K
Remember and wash well the gravel in the pan	M

'Remember Time the player that need not cheat to win	N
Makes a strong adversary Is thy game begun	D
Thy game is lost Day wanes night waxes Look within	N
The gulf it still is thirsty The sands are all but run	D

'Soon soon the hour will strike when Hazard he that showed	B
A god like face when Virtue thy bride but still intact	B
When even Repentance oh last inn along the road	B
Will say to thee 'Die coward It is too late to act ''	-
