THE POET’S CORNER.
■ LIFE IS TOO SHORT. Life is too short [for any vain regretting, Let dead delight bury its dead, I say: And let ns go npon our -way forgetting The joys and sorrows of yesterday. Between the swift sun’s rising and its setting, We have no time for useless tears or fretting, Life ist oo short. Life is too short for ought but high endeavour — Too short for spite, but long enough for love. And love lives on for ever and for ever, It links the worlds that circle on above. >Tis God’s first law, the universe’s lever. In His vast realm the radiant souls sigh never Life ist oo short. —Ella W. Wilcox.
