And What Is Life? - An Hour-glass

Tasteful Illumination Of The Night, Bright Scattered, Twinkling Star Of Spangled Earth.

This World Has Suns, But They Are Overcast;this World Has Sweets, But They're Of Ling'ring Bloom;life Still Expects, And Empty Falls At Last;warm Hope On Tiptoe Drops Into The Tomb.

When Trouble Haunts Me, Need I Sigh?no, Rather Smile Away Despair

He Could Not Die When The Trees Were Green, For He Loved The Time Too Well.

And Fairy Month Of Waking Mirth From Whom Our Joys Ensue Thou Early Gladder Of The Earth Thrice Welcome Here Anew With Thee The Bud Unfolds To Leaves The Grass Greens On The Lea And Flowers Their Tender Boon Receives To Bloom And Smile With Thee.
