THE WORLD OFT THINKS
TOO LIGHTLY.
One man has passed away
The world does little care.
Tonight a million may
Or a million yet today,
And many be not aware.
The world oft thinks too slightly
On themes that are like these,
She often thinks too lightly
On things that fail to please.
A body.s with the dust.
A soul confined to flames.
