Poems

LENGTH OF LIFE

From the May 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


He liveth long who liveth well;
All other life is short and vain;
He liveth longest, who can tell
Of living most for heavenly gain.

He liveth long who liveth well;
All else is life but flung away;
He liveth longest, who can tell
Of true things truly done each day.
