MEMENTO MORI.
In the brant of Life's loud clangour, When we weary of our days ; In the peace of Life's soft laugour, When we laugh by flowery ways; In each hour that flits or stays, In each sigh, or song, or story, There's a distant voice that prays Thus: gpMWtla M axi >
When the step falls light, unfettered, And we dance in glad amaze ; When our joys can not be bettered — So Life laughs beyond the haze ; When a dimness clouds the gaze, And the head with age grows hoary, There's a voice forever prays Thus : |$mmtto ||tori.
Light of Life and Love forever ; Happy nights and best of days ; Night or day will linger never — Not an hour that ever stays. Darksome paths or pleasant ways, Grloom of age, or youth's soft glory ; Still a voice, unceasing, prays Thus: ggfcnunto 3oxl
