Mankind must all return to dust,
From whence their nature sprung at first;
They soon shall wither like a flower,
Which grows and lives but just an hour.
They soon shall huddle to the grave,
They soon must quit the slender stage,
The feeble thread will soon be cut,
Millions are turning to their dust.
