IS LIFE WORTH LIVING.
Is life woith living ? Yes, so Jong 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 tears to dry, One kindred woe, one sorrowing face That smiles as we draw nigh ; Long as a tale of anguish swells The heart, and lidß grow wet, £nd at the sound of Cnrlstmas bells We pardon and forget; So long as Faith and 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. —English Illustrated Magazine
