We knew not that we were to live—
(Redirected from We knew not that we were to live —)
We knew not that we were to live —
Nor when — we are to die —
Our ignorance — our cuirass is —
We wear Mortality
As lightly as an Option Gown
Till asked to take it off —
By his intrusion, God is known —
It is the same with Life —
