MAKE THE MOST OF THIS LIFE.

Make the most of this life; where the shadow reposes

The beams of the summer shall gather in glee,

And the snow on the graves of the lilies and roses

But cradles the blooms that shall whiten the lea;

Though the hopes of the heart be encircled with sorrow

And billows of wretchedness mutter and roll,

There shall come with the morn of the bountiful morrow

The pleasures that gladden the desolate soul.

Make the most of this life; where the carols are sleeping
