Moreover, our life, be it long or short,
.. will come to an end when our time is up.
Life is such a serious matter!
.. as one ancient sighed,
It is depressing just to think about it.
Let me not pray to be shelterd from dangers,
But to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain,
But for the heart to conquer it.
