| This, Too, Shall Pass Away
by Lanta Wilson Smith 1962
When some great sorrow, like a mighty river,
Flows through your life with peace destroying power,
And dearest things are swept from sight forever,
Say to your heart,
each trying hour:
"This, too, shall pass away."
When fortune smiles, and full of mirth and pleasure,
The days are flitting by with out a care,
Lest you should rest with only earthly treasure,
Let these few words their fullest import bear:
"This, too, shall pass away."
When earnest labor brings you fame and glory,
And all earth's noblest ones upon you smile,
Remember that life's longest, grandest story
Fills but a moment in earth's little while:
"This, too, shall pass away." | |
