Some showed me Life
As 'twere a royal game,
Shining in every colour of the sun,
With prises to be played for, one by one,
Love, riches, fame.


:Some showed me Life
Some showed me Life
:As 'twere a royal game,
As 'twere a terrible fight,
:Shining in every colour of the sun,  
A ceasless striving 'gainst unnumbered foes,
:With prises to be played for, one by one,
A battle ever harder to the close,
:Love, riches, fame.
Ending in night.


:Some showed me Life
Thou - Thou dids't make of Life a vision deep
:As 'twere a terrible fight,
Of the deep happiness the spirit feels
:A ceasless striving 'gainst unnumbered foes,
When heavenly music Heaven itself reveals  
:A battle ever harder to the close,
And passions sleep,  
:Ending in night.
and passions sleep.

Some showed me Life
As 'twere a royal game,
Shining in every colour of the sun,
With prises to be played for, one by one,
Love, riches, fame.

Some showed me Life
As 'twere a terrible fight,
A ceasless striving 'gainst unnumbered foes,
A battle ever harder to the close,
Ending in night.

Thou - Thou dids't make of Life a vision deep
Of the deep happiness the spirit feels
When heavenly music Heaven itself reveals
And passions sleep,
and passions sleep.
