LIFE, by                    
First Line: Yesterday - I met her, with her gladsome
Last Line: It this be life, it still is death, to all the joys we know.
Subject(s): Life; Weariness; Fatigue


Yesterday -- I met her, with her gladsome, winning smile,
Golden curls, azure eyes, lovely all the while;
Teeth of pearl, heart of gold,
Loving words oft said,
Cherished hopes, hearts attune,
We loved and all cares fled.

Today -- we meet again, O time what hast thou done?
Golden curls, white as the snow,
Tired eyes and sad;
Lines of weariness and none of the gladsome that she had.
Hearts grown weary, through life's hard way;
Steps so feebly slow,
It this be life, it still is death, to all the joys we know.
