Worldly pleasure is quite enough for the enjoyment of the heedless, but the wise find no true delight without the sorrow or concern for the hereafter.

Here, the poet contrasts the shallow comfort of the oblivious with the profound depth of the wise. For those who wander heedlessly, everyday worldly distractions are more than enough to keep them satisfied. Yet the truly discerning soul finds such fleeting joys hollow; their relish in life is tethered to a deeper spiritual longing and the sobering, beautiful awareness of eternity.
