Life's a Clock
The clock of life, is wound but once
And no man has the power
To tell just where the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
To loose one's health is more
To loose one's soul is such a loss
As no man can restore
The present, only is our own
Live, love, toil with a will
Place no faith in "tomorrow" for
The clock may then be still.
And we will remember them.
