Here are the words.  I don't know the source.

Translation:

The past is no more, the Future has not happened yet,

and the present is but a flash of the eye,

So from where (why) is your despair?

Meaning: (IMHO)

You can not change the past, nor control the future.  What matters is to do
the correct thing right now.  Don't get caught up in matters beyond your
control.
