Junichiro Tanizaki quote ... how to say in Japanese?

Question:


In the (English version of the) Tanizaki Junichiro short story (the blind mans tale), there is the quote ...

"Sadness lasts but a moment,
and once you awaken,
happiness was only a dream."

Does anyone know the exact Japanese translation of this? I looked online, but my J-E translation is really .. bad ...! Please help me native speakers.

Answer:


I tried to find it on Japanese webs. But couldn't find on webs.

I don't think it's such a famous line. So you should check his original Japanese book.
