% look not. look not, love before
There all Is gloomy, chill. uncertain;
AND bishted hopes. and anguish sore.
Await US heath its sOmbTe curtain.
And glance Tot, love, q glance not back
Ho errs, who doth the Past remember
There lie but tombs, and shadows black.
Ana faued passions cherries ember.
mo. let US live our fleeing day;
speed We the hours with mirth and daughters
AND, riotins In Joyous play,
Heed not the Past, or the Hereafter
Mid darkness light is doubly clear,
Joy dopbly saeet IN midst Of sorrow
And all that wa to-day ho.d dear
May lie in ashes ere Tomorrow.
Then let US live and love, while yet
Our short lived happiness enduretu
boon, all too soon, will come regret,
And pangs that no physician cqreth."
