Our moments of glory
a lifetime to remember
fair token of youth?s vigour
Carve now before the die sets
while still new and pliable
when it dries your mark stays
hardened and nobly set
surpassing life of wilted crowns
a monument in your honour
Our moments of glory
a lifetime to remember
come pay heed to youth?s prayer
We won?t be here to bother
having surpassed such worries
earthborn to earth it goes
like Assyrian ruins
to those with merits deserving
God and kind Fortune preserve them
Our moments of glory
a lifetime to remember
mementos of youth?s flower
