THE SPAN OF LIFE.
BY WILL n. DIXON.

A little life. little strife,
A little work and play;
A few brief years, of smiles and tears,
And then we go away.
Enjoy life's wine, where roses Irvine,
The music and the song;
LIES merry play is but day,
Lies span it is not long.
A little while on earth to smile,
Amids. the joys and tears,
We sing our song and pass along,
Adown the sunny years.
So laugh and smile, with Joy the while,
No thought of wealth or power;
Sweet mirth's the thing, let laughter
ring,
Soon comes the parting hour.
A little grace to light the place,
A few brief smiles and tears;
Then hushed our song, amid earth's
throng,
Alas, the fieeting years!
LIES sands run slow, they whisper
low.
AS now DEATHS angel calls,
To end the play, life's little day,
And then the curtain falls.
