Show r - ' LIFE, , ? W are, born; we Iaush; we wsep; 7o love; we droop; we die! .... , i Aft! therefore do we laugh or . weepf r Why do we live or die? -Who knows that secret deep? ;'Alas, not I! Why doth the violet spring ' Unseen by human eye? Why do the radiant seasons bring Sweet thoughts that quickly fly? Why do our fond hearts cling To things that die? We toll through pain and wrong! We fight and fly; We love; we lose; and then, ere long, Stone-dead we lie. O Life! Is all thy song! "Endure and die?" Bryan Waller Procter. |
