“IF THIS GREAT WORLD OF JOY AND PAIN”


IF this great world of joy and pain Revolve in one sure track; If freedom, set, will rise again, And virtue, flown, come back; Woe to the purblind crew who fill The heart with each day’s care; Nor gain, from past or future, skill To bear, and to forbear! 1833.
