Time for a Song in Attic

Can you identify this one?

πλησθῇς ἐν αὔγῃ κλινομένου,
μένοντος οἴκοι ὡς ὑετόν θέῃ.
νέος εἶ, μακρὰ ζωή,
καὶ ’στι χρόνος ἐκχεῖσθαι νῦν.

ποτὲ δὲ εὑρίσκεις
δέκα ἔτη πεφευγότα.
οὐδεὶς ἔφρασε σοὶ ἐπεὶ τρέχειν,
ἥμαρτες σημεῖον.

  1. Songs are easier, it took me less than 5 minutes!! it's Pink Floyd, Time:

    Tired of lying in the sunshine
    Staying home to watch the rain
    And you are young and life is long
    And there is time to kill today

    And then one day you find
    Ten years have got behind you
    No one told you when to run
    You missed the starting gun

    OK I won't comment on the overall theme of both quotes (...) but I love this game!! Thanks! Can't wait for the next one :)

  3. Ahem..you know..the not-so-cheerful side of life!

    Arthur and his drinking/loneliness issues (I'm still debating on what's the best way to deal with both!)..

    And then years gone by etc etc

    My cup of tea ;) (seriously!) BUT working hard 24/7 on it not being that way!

    Will you come up with a new one for me? :)

  4. Ach, ich sehe. I'll try to be a little more cheery next time :-) It may be a few days before the next post because I'm working on another project:
    http://www.letsreadgreek.com/phrasebook/
    and because your website looks too interesting.

    Bis bald!

  5. Thank you, you're too kind!

    OK no rush, good luck on your project, it looks great!

    And don't worry about being cheery..It was an observation, not a complaint! Cheers! ;)
