One Life To Live

O, the disheartened poet That cannot be the end And that never the end You still have ink in your pen And strength in your hand Control the destiny. The earth hails spring in full choir The winds kiss the perfumed Garments of the earth. Trees still have leaves on them One falls the another rises The night has fallen But the morn is not far behind So all is not lost till it’s lost And till then let there be hope. Feel the spirit of the lovely spring With dreams to live up, after wintry rest.
