When death upon us, at last comes No time is left to twiddle thumbs All chance for action, change or sorrow Too late to find the time to borrow Hence hasten all, to do ye good To help yourself and one another To serve, to love, to weep, to laugh to hope and work and save your soul. “Remember man that thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt return”
