Rondeau + 

As shadows pass, in the misty night, + 

Over the wan and moonlit grass, + 

So passeth our glory out of sight, + 

As shadows pass. + 

A little darkness, a little light, + 

Sorrow and gladness, a weary mass, + 

Glimmer and falter and pass in blight. + 

So all our life, in waning flight, + 

Fadeth and faltereth, alas; + 

Passeth our sorrow and our delight, + 

As shadows pass. + 
