There's No Pocket in a Shroud.
You inu a t lcavo your maoy millions, A"3fl the gay and festive crowd ; Though you roll in royal billions, There's no pocket in a sbroud. Whether pauper, princo, or peasant, Whether rich or poor or proud — Remember that there isn't Any pocket in a shroud. Yon'll have all f.hia world of glory, With a record long and loud, Anl a place in song and story, But no pocket in your shroud. So be lavish of your riches, Neither vain nor cold or proud, And you'll gain the golden niches In a clime without a cloud. — John A. Joyce.
