Life is earnest!" Oh, the voices of the ages!
They that speak from out the pages Of the Books of Time, the sages.
Oh, the voices! Oh, the voices!
From all times and ancient places.
From immortals of all races.
All whom Genius with her graces E'er hath blessed with her embraces.
Some cry to me: " Rest you! Rest you! " Some speak: " Adam's curse has blest you; By your works your God shall test you." Oh, the voices! Oh, the voices!
This one warns me: *' Life is fleeting; Sip joy's cup, all pleasur...es greeting." Comes an earnest voice entreating: " Work while youth's strong blood is beating !
my soul! what voice shall guide me?
1 know not; thou must decide me.
See, the Babel doth deride me!
Oh, the voices! Oh, the voices!
They have lived, and they have known; Thy have reaped what they have sown.
Can I else but, as God leads it, Live each hour as that hour needs it?
35 AN OLD MAN'S SONG O shattered dreams that once did live and glow, And now lie 'mid the woe and gloom of years, What raptures did ye in those days bestow Whilst yet we built our castles tiers on tiers, Ere ye did diel O shattered dreams that perished one by one, And left but bitter memories in your stead, How dark hath grown that once so valiant sun Which then we followed, fearless, where it led, Without a sigh!
