Briefer art thou, better O Life
Ever since we called thee as grief O Life,
Heavy hast thou turned, light as leaf O Life.
Not sprightly, but nigh painful do thou feel
As if ye climb up a stiff cliff O Life.
Hence, thought up I have this remedial pill:
To bestow thee boost of life brief O Life.
In this world, unfortunate seems just he
Who vies with thee with needles tiff O Life.
The long and short of life be this, O life,
As is with guest, so with life brief O life.
