Is Life Worth Living.
13 life worth living ? Yes, so long As there is wrong to right, Wail of the weak against the strong, Or tyranny to fight ; Long as there lingers gloom to chase. Or streaming tear to <lry. One kindred woe, one sorrowing face That smiles as we draw nigh ; Long as a tale of anguish swells The heart, and lids grow wet, And at the sound of Christmas bells We pardon and forget ; So long as Faith with Freedom reigns, And loyal Hope survives, And gracious Charity remains To leaven lowly lives ; While there is one untrodden tract For Intellect or Will, And men are free to think and act. Life is worth living still. w English Ili<ustba.ted Magazine.
