Songs of Far Vistas

Life, Death and Immortality

Let me but live this life as best I may;
Each coming year with joyous sunlit day;
If with a song I may impart some cheer
To saddened hearts this happy bright new year!

Let me now live this life as best I may;
For none return to tell us of the way.
Intent we listen for the coming call,
From windings of the path "beyond the wall."

January 1, 1919
