a psalm of life
by henry wadsworth longfellow
what the heart of the young man said to the psalmist.
[1] tell me not, in mournful numbers,
life is but an empty dream!
for the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
[2] life is real! life is earnest!
and the grave is not its goal;
dust thou art, to dust returnest,
was not spoken of the soul.
[3] not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
is our destined end or way;
but to act, that each to-morrow
find us farther than to-day.
[4] art is long, and time is fleeting,
and our hearts, though stout and brave,
still, like muffled drums, are beating
funeral marches to the grave.
[5] in the world's broad field of battle,
in the bivouac of life,
be not like dumb, driven cattle!
be a hero in the strife!
[6] trust no future, howe'er pleasant!
let the dead past bury its dead!
act,— act in the living present!
heart within, and god o'erhead!
[7] lives of great men all remind us
we can make our lives sublime,
and, departing, leave behind us
footprints on the sands of time;
[8] footprints, that perhaps another,
sailing o'er life's solemn main,
a forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
seeing, shall take heart again.
[9] let us, then, be up and doing,
with a heart for any fate;
still achieving, still pursuing,
learn to labor and to wait.
