A Psalm of Life Tell me not in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty Jream! For f je soul is dead that slumbers And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, ' ' Was not spoken of the soul. Not enjoyment, and not sorroiv, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each tomorrow Find us farther than today. In the worUVs broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us Footsteps on the sands of time; Footsteps, that perhaps another. Sailing o ' er life ' s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing. With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. — Longfellow.
