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 cheerTo 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."
