[00:02.49]075.A Psalm of Life [00:07.60]--What the Heart of the Young Man Said to the Psalmist [00:14.83]Tell me not, in mournful numbers, [00:17.85]Life is but an empty dream! [00:20.56]For the soul is dead that slumbers [00:23.07]And things are not what they seem. [00:25.02] [00:26.06]Life is real! Life is earnest! [00:28.75]And the grave is not its goal; [00:31.35]Dust thou art, to dust returnest, [00:34.23]Was not spoken of the soul. [00:35.89] [00:36.98]Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, [00:39.91]Is our destined end or way; [00:43.09]But to act, that each to-morrow [00:45.36]Find us farther than to-day. [00:47.95] [00:49.02]Art is long, and Time is fleeting, [00:51.89]And our hearts, though stout and brave, [00:54.70]Still, like muffled drums, are beating [00:57.56]Funeral marches to the grave. [00:59.20] [01:00.73]In the world’s broad field of battle, [01:03.95]In the bivouac of Life, [01:06.66]Be not like dumb, driven cattle! [01:09.20]Be a hero in the strife! [01:11.28] [01:12.12]Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant! [01:15.74]Let the dead Past bury its dead! [01:18.56]Act, act in the living Present! [01:21.71]Heart within, and God o’erhead! [01:23.76] [01:25.40]Lives of great men all remind us [01:28.05]We can make our lives sublime, [01:30.64]And, departing, leave behind us [01:32.98]Footprints on the sands of time; [01:35.01] [01:35.74]Footprints, that perhaps another, [01:38.30]Sailing o’er life’ solemn main, [01:41.07]A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, [01:43.56]Seeing, shall take heart again. [01:45.80] [01:46.63]Let us, then, be up and doing, [01:48.99]With a heart for any fate; [01:51.41]Still achieving, still pursuing, [01:53.89]Learn to labour and to wait.
