Mutability

We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon
How restlessly they speed and gleam and quiver
Streaking the darkness radiantly
Yet soon night closes round, and they are lost for ever

La diferencia de la vida humana con las otras formas de vida
Es que tú puedes dar
Hasta cierto punto
Una orientación a tu vida

Or like forgotten lyres whose dissonant strings
Give various response to each varying blast
To whose frail frame no second motion brings
One mood or modulation like the last

Tú puedes, en términos relativos
Ser autor del camino de tu propia vida
No eres un vegetal que vives porque naciste
Después de haber nacido puedes darle un contenido o no

We rest—a dream has power to poison sleep
O puedes enajenar tu vida, que te la compre el mercado
We rise—one wandering thought pollutes the day
We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away

Si quieren vivir felices
Levanten una idea en la que creer
Vivan para servir a esa idea
Y no se dejen esclavizar por el mercado

It is the same!—For, be it joy or sorrow
The path of its departure still is free
Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow
Nought may endure but Mutability
