Live While You Live

Live While You Live
1164

Just con this o’er before the fray
And the rule will give you grit:
The bitter sweet of yesterday
Is today’s own sweeter bit!
Take life easy-
Take life breezy:
Live the hour you live
Joys and troubles
Alike are bubbles;
Nor lasting measure give
This morn’s pet sorrow
Will hold tomorrow
Her sides in mocking glee
Hence, please her never;
Live smiling ever
And a doleful jade is she!
