False world goodbye,   The enemy to rest   Now do the worst,   I do not weigh the spite   Free from the cares,   I live forever blessed   Enjoying peace and heavenly true delight      Round the world and back again   Is very far to roam   The footloose life of now and then   A wind-bound exile far from home   The leaves that just are open now   They'll have to fade and fall   Their faithful ever blooming now   Is merely in pain at all      Time's endlessly weighing   If you're prepared for the great trial   You know that you're just waiting   For the old man's smile      I remember all words spoken   All the songs that had been sung   How gracious were our hearts unbroken   When you and me were, oh, so young      Can't you see the coming dawn   Of summer day   Can't you smell the fear   For this endless way      False world goodbye,   The enemy to rest   Now do the worst,   I do not weigh the spite   Free from the cares,   I live for ever blessed   Enjoying peace and heavenly true delight      All the words remain unstated   All the songs I do not know   All too late my mind's elated   Take over now regretful woe      The summer's turning into pale   Finally I close my eyes   There is no use to desperate wail   Although it calls my soul to die at last
