First Line: Like the manna, mute as snow
Last Line: Life whereon alone we live.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Love
Like the manna, mute as snow,
Swift the moments come and go,
Each sufficient for the needs
Of the multitude it feeds;
One to all, and all to one,
Superfluity to none,
Ever dying but to give
Life whereon alone we live.
