Though Life Is Young, And Spirits Gay

Title:     Though Life Is Young, And Spirits Gay
Author: Mary Ann H. T. Bigelow [More Titles by Bigelow]

Though life is young, and spirits gay,
And hope thy fond heart cheers;
Though friends are kind, and health is firm,
And death far off appears,

Yet think not happiness like this,
Is destined long to last;
For ere to-morrow morn, perhaps,
Thy sky may be o'ercast.

Ah! let not pleasure blind thy eyes,
Or flattery lure thy heart;
But in the morning of thy life,
Secure the better part.

March 29, 1853.
