13 As loving Parents (taught of God) Pity to their [dear] Children bear; The Lord of Love will pity them That serve him with true [child-like] fear.
14 For he remembers flesh is dust; Our [frail and] mortal frame he knows:
15 And that the days of man on earth Are like the grass [in field] that grows.
16 There flowers flourish, but sharp winds Blast them, and they are [quickly] gone; And to the place which they perfumed And beautified [they are] unknown.
16 There flowers flourish, but sharp winds Blast them, and they are [quickly] gone; And to the place which they persum'd And beautify'd [they are] unknown.
