Harper's Song

"Spend the day merrily; put unguent and fine oil to your nose, And lotus flowers on the body of your beloved. Place singing and music before your face. Cast all evil behind you and think of joy, Until that day comes when harbor is reached in the land that loves silence. Spend the day merrily, and weary not therein; Lo, none can take his goods with him; Lo, none that has departed can come again."
