Ella Wheeler Wilcox - Life is too short
Work rating: Low

Life is too short for any vain regretting;

Let dead delight bury its dead, I say,

And let us go upon our way forgetting

The joys and sorrows of each yesterday

Between the swift sun`s rising and its setting

We have no time for useless tears or fretting:

Life is too short.

Life is too short for any bitter feeling;

Time is the best avenger if we wait;

The years speed by, and on their wings bear healing;

We have no room for anything like hate.

This solemn truth the low mounds seem revealing

That thick and fast about our feet are stealing:

Life is too short.

Life is too short for aught but high endeavor—

Too short for spite, but long enough for love.

And love lives on forever and forever;

It links the worlds that circle on above:

`Tis God`s first law, the universe`s lever.

In His vast realm the radiant souls sigh never

"Life is too short."
