First Line: Yet even in this little world of ours
Last Line: One single hour to share the life divine!
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Life
Yet even in this little World of ours
That speeds toward dissolution and decay,
Where Man is arrogant of his vain powers,
And Beauty holds her court but for a day,
Where Lust and Vice their rival charms display,—
How few there are would willingly resign
One single hour to share the Life Divine!
