LIFE.
Men come and go!Almost before they learn to knowThat they are here, they disappear.Ah! sad ’twould beIf this were all; this mortal life;These few brief years of pain and strife.But ’tis not all!For when we leave this earthly clayTo higher life we soar away.

Men come and go!
Almost before they learn to know
That they are here, they disappear.
Ah! sad ’twould beIf this were all; this mortal life;These few brief years of pain and strife.
Ah! sad ’twould be
If this were all; this mortal life;
These few brief years of pain and strife.
But ’tis not all!For when we leave this earthly clayTo higher life we soar away.
But ’tis not all!
For when we leave this earthly clay
To higher life we soar away.
