<p class="poetry">A generation comes<n id="1" /> and a generation goes,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">but the earth remains<n id="3" /> the same<n id="4" /> through the ages.<n id="5" />p>

<p class="poetry">Even when a fool walks along the road he lacks sense,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and shows<n id="2" /> everyone what a fool he is.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">Whatever you find to do with your hands,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">do it with all your might,p> <p class="poetry">because there is neither work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the grave,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">the place where you will eventually go.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">and they are afraid of heights and the dangers<n id="1" /> in the street;p> <p class="poetry">the almond blossoms<n id="2" /> grow white,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">and the grasshopper<n id="4" /> drags itself along,<n id="5" />p> <p class="poetry">and the caper berry<n id="6" /> shrivels up<n id="7" /> &#8211;p> <p class="poetry">because man goes to his eternal home,<n id="8" />p> <p class="poetry">and the mourners go about in the streets &#8211;p>
