LIFE by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL

First Line: FORENOON AND AFTERNOON AND NIGHT - FORENOON
Last Line: AND TIME IS CONQUERED, AND THY CROWN IS WON.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
FORENOON and afternoon and night, -- Forenoon,
And afternoon, and night, -- Forenoon, and -- what!
The empty song repeats itself. No more?
Yea, that is Life: make this forenoon sublime,
This afternoon a psalm, this night a prayer,
And Time is conquered, and thy crown is won.
