Life is brief,<br>And sin is here.<br>Our age is but the falling of a leaf -<br>A dropping tear.<br>We have no time to sport away the hours:<br>All must be earnest in a world like ours.<br><br>"Not many lives, but only one have we, -<br>One, only one;<br>How sacred should that one life ever be -<br>That narrow span!<br>Day after day filled up with blessed toil,<br>Hour after hour still bringing in new spoil."<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
