The Ennui of Life

Life is a sluggish hag, That along loves to drag; The best one might do Is to let it snake around As it's by its wonts bound. And if it struggles to roll to its end, Don't let it start a fight with you; Simply let it do as it's bent, For it depends not much upon you, But it's by wildest whirlings sent.
