LIFE Is BUT H DAY.

a blithsome maid, at early morn,
Comes tripping lightly DER the lea;
OF all Gods creatures ever born
The brightest, gladdest heart has she;
And owning by her speech the sway
OF rapt emotion. she doth say:
"How glad thing is life."
O'ercome at last by midday heat,
And well nigh unremitting toll,
A man of care lay down TO sleep,
And snatch repose from life's turmoil.
He rose and with a sigh he said,
As Care reigned in Oblivion's stead:
''How sad Il thing is life!"
An aged pair. at eve draw near.
With faltering steps, a lone churchyard;
Death long TO them has lost its fear.
Although, in youth, to die seemed hard.
All hope in time has passed away,
Yet from the heart each one doth say:
"How grand Il thing is life!'
