ITNTNff,
How to make life worth ving?"
The question haunts every day;
IL colos the first flush OF sunrise,
II deepens the twghts last ray
There is nothing that brings drearier pain
Than the thought. we have lived living.
in vain"
We need. each and ALL to be needed
To feel we have something TO give
Toward soothing the moan Of earth's hunger;
And we know that then only We live
When we feed one another have been fed,
From the hand that gives body and spirit their
bread.
Our lives they well worth the living
When we lose our small selves In the whole,
And feel the strong surges Of being
Throb through us. one heart and one soul.
Eternity bears up each honest endeavor:
The life lost for love is a life saved forever.
