Not long with vigorous thought shall we IN Our lives, our dreams, our fondest cherish
 hopes,
 u Will soon be gone from each now active bra |. This lovely world so full of blossoms now ne So full of all the beauty of the spring, ,d l Should teach us that our hearts should cain

 And clothe it with beauty past our ken; g- Can then these bodies be of lesser worth, p And will He never make us newer meni 72 Then let us nurse the hone that far bevond in We shall behold each other in some sphere, en | And welded there in an immortal bond lo Forget earth's sorrow and each mortal tear. w.
