I SHALL NOT PASS THIS WAY AGAIN by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "THROUGH THIS TOILSOME WORLD, ALAS"
Last Line: I SHALL NOT PASS THIS WAY AGAIN

THROUGH this toilsome world, alas!
Once and only once I pass;
If a kindness I may show,
If a good deed I may do
To a suffering fellow man,
Let me do it while I can.
No delay, for it is plain
I shall not pass this way again.
