William Schwenck Gilbert - Is Life a BoonWilliam Schwenck Gilbert - Is Life a Boon
Work rating: Low


Is life a boon? If so, it must befall That Death, whene`er he call, Must call too soon. Though fourscore years he give Yet one would pray to live Another moon! What kind of plaint have I, Who perish in July? I might have had to die Perchance in June! Is life a thorn? Then count it not a whit! Man is well done with it; Soon as he`s born He should all means essay To put the plague away; And I, war-worn, Poor captured fugitive, My life most gladly give - I might have had to live Another morn!
