Oh, Why Should the Spirit Of Mortal
be Proud


Oh why should the spirit of mortal be
proud?
Like swift feeting meteor--a fast flying
cl rud:
A flash of the lightning, reap of the
wave,
Man passes from life to his rest In the
grave.
The leaves of the oak and the willow
shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be laid;
And the young and the old, the low and
the high,
Shall moulder to dust and together shall
lie,
The infant mother attended and loved,
The mother that infants affection who
proved,
The husband that mother and infant who
blessed,
Each, all, are away to their dwellings of
rest.
The maid on whose cheek. on whose
brow, in whose eye,
Shone beauty and pieasure-her triumpns
are by,
And the memory of those who loved her
and praised,
Are alike, from the eye of the living
erased.
The hand of the King the sceptre hath
borue,
The brow of the priest that the mitre
hath worn;
The eye of the sage, the heart of the
brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths of the
grave.
The person, whose lot was to sow and to
reap,
The herd<man, who climbed with his
goat up the steep;
The beggar, who wandered in search OF
his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we
tread.
The saint who enjoyed the communion
of heaven,
The sinner who breads to remain unfor-
given;
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and
Have quietly mingled their bones in the
dust.
So the multitude goes, like the flowers or
the weed,
| That withers away to let others succeed
| So the multitude comes, even those We
| behold,
To repeat every tale that has ever been
| told.
For we are the same our fathers have
| been,
We see the same sights our fathers have
| seen;
We drink the same stream, and view the
| same sun,
And run the same course our fathers have
| run.
The thoughts we are thinking our fathers
| would think,
From the death we are shrinking our
fathers would shrink,
To the life we are clinging they also
| would cling,
But it speeds for US all like bird on the
| wing.
They loved, but the story We cannot un-
fold;
They scorned, but the heart Of the
naughty is cold;
They yrieved, but no wall from their
| slumbers will come;
They joyed, but the tongue of their glad
ness is dumb.
They died, ah, they died, and we things
| that are now,
Who walk on the turf that lies over their
brow,
Who make in their dwelling transient
abode,
Meet the things that they met on their
| pilgrimage road.
Yea! hope and despondency, pleasure
and pain,
| We minge together in sunshine and rain.
And the smile and the tear, the song and
the dirge,
Still follow each other like surge upon
surge.
'Tis the wink of an eye, tits the draught
| of IL breath,
| From the blossom of health to the pale
| ness of death,
From the gilded saloon to the bier and
| the shroud,
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be
proud?
