RF ECC 12:1 Lecture 17.
A Poem on Declining Life.
Your Creator remember in time of your youth,
Ere sorrow's days come, and the years full of grief,—
When you cry out, "In them is no pleasure for me!"—
RF ECC 12:2 Ere the Sun and the Light become dim, and the Morn and the Stars,
And the clouds go away after rain!
RF ECC 12:3 When the Guards of the House will be trembling,
And the strongest of men will bow down;
And the grinders will cease as but few;
And the light of the windows be dim,
RF ECC 12:4 And doors closed to the feet and the shuffling step;
When the bird's voice alarms, and the singers depress,
RF ECC 12:5 When fears come from the above, and the roadway below;
And sleep flies away,—
And the grasshopper loads,
And Desire will fail;—
And Man seeks his Long Home,
And the Mourners will walk round the streets.—
RF ECC 12:6 Ere the silver cord's loosed, or the golden bowl broke;
Or the Cup is found smashed at the spring,
Or the Wheel is found lost at the Well,
RF ECC 12:7 And Man goes to the earth that he was,
And his Soul will return to the God Who gave it!
RF ECC 12:8 The End of Solomon's Lectures.
Note By The Ancient Editors.
Probably those employed under King Hezekiah to arrange these Lectures from the preserved manuscripts of his great ancestor, Solomon, for publication.

Old Editorial Comment.

"Vanity of Vanity," said the Preacher, "Vanity of Vanity!"
RF ECC 12:9 But for the rest, the Preacher was skilful so far as teaching science to the People, and he was listened to, and selected many proverbs.
RF ECC 12:10 The Preacher sought to discover pleasing words, and wrote accurately truthful conclusions.
RF ECC 12:11 The discourses of philosophers are like pegs, and stakes, fixed by masterly shepherds. They keep the flock together.
RF ECC 12:12 But nevertheless my son be warned by this, that there is no end to the making of many books, and much learning is a weariness of the flesh.
RF ECC 12:13 When all is heard, this is the conclusion of the whole matter. "Reverence God, and keep His commands.—They are for all mankind.—
RF ECC 12:14 For GOD will bring every act into judgment, along with every secret, whether Good or Bad!"
—————
The End of the Book of Ecclesiastes, or The Preacher.
