AD ASTRA: 166 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: YET EVEN IN THIS LITTLE WORLD OF OURS
Last Line: ONE SINGLE HOUR TO SHARE THE LIFE DIVINE!
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!
