Does your life seem useless-vain,
Filled with naught but clouds and rain,
Ceaseless cares mt bitter pain?
Make your life count for something,
Do not live in aimless way,
Selfishly from day to day,
In your work or in your play
Make your life count for something,
Soon your life on earth will cease.
From all cares there'll come release,
And from sorrows-sweet surcease-

in a rug and lay on the broad, high
backed lounge which was drawn
close to the fireplace, facing It. His
