LIFE'S CHANGES by RICHARD SOLOMON GEDNEY

First Line: OUR LIFE IS FULL OF SIGHING
Last Line: THOUGH OFT WE SEE IT NOT.
Subject(s): LIFE;

OUR life is full of sighing,
Our life, which is so brief;
We cloud the moments flying,
With trouble, pain, and grief.
Still looking to the morrow,
We disregard to-day,
And ever trouble borrow,
As life speeds fast away.
And yet, nor grief, nor sadness,
Composes all our lot,—
Woe mingles still with gladness,
Though oft we see it not.
