Strew flowers in the path o, the living.
To comfort and cheer them along.
AND Of all that is ever worth giving
Freely give. while the sweetness refreshes,
Ere the heart has sunk in despair.
And weird vision that oft distresses
May vanish, as phantoms in air.
Cheer thy friend who is gloomy and downcast
With SORROWS too great 10 be borne.
Take his hand in loving. brotherly clasp.
Though m i long the f march cha and severe the fight;
Thus cheered and refreshed by the way.
Such deeds may brighten the darkness OF night,
And courage and hope win the day.
Lies real pleasures are never TOO many.
Its sorrows outnumber by far:
Give your kind thoughts in words have you any,
Ere delay their sweetness can mar:
Why wait until the struggle is ended.
The journey over and through.
TIL the neighbor you might have befriended
Has ceased in his efforts TO do?
His faults may be many. his good traits few.
We know not OF faults overcome

His life may seem useless and all in vain
But who would refuse his praise 10 proclaim.
Did they know of the great acts done

To soften the path 10 the tomb:
Nor wait TO disclose your love for tie dead
When life needs its fragrance and boom ,
There is many a heart tina: breaks while smile
Bellies the sorrow II hears.
And MANY a sacrifice noble and great
Gains nothing but sadness and cares.

For the living 10 daily tread.
