is LIFE WORTH LlVlNG'

Is lfe worth living? Yes, so long
AS there is wrong 10 right,
Wall Of the weak against the strong,
Or tyranny 20 fight;
Long as there fingers gloom 20 chase,
Or streaming tear TO dry
One kindred woe, one sorrowing face
That smiles as we draw nigh;
Long as a tale Of anguish swells
The heart and lids grow wet,
And at the sound Of Christmas bells
We pardon and forget;
So long SO Faith with Freedom reIgns,
And royal Hope survives,
And gracious Charity remains
To leaveG Lowry lives;
While there - one UntTodden tract
For Intellect or VIII,
And men are free 70 think and act,
Life is worth liviaEtt.u
