The story goes, or the way that I was told,
There was a king that always felt too high, and then he felt too low,
And so he called all the wise men to the hall,
And he begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls,
And here's the thing, they came back with a ring,
It was simple and was plainly, unbefitting of a king,
Engraved in black, well, it had no front or back,
But there were words around the band that said,
"Just know: this too shall pass."​
