Tell
me
not,
in
mournful
numbers,
 
Life
is
but
an
empty
dream!
 
For
the
soul
is
dead
that
slumbers,
And
things
are
not
what
they
seem.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Life
is
real!
Life
is
earnest!
 
And
the
grave
is
not
its
goal;
Dust
thou
art,
to
dust
returnest,
 
Was
not
spoken
of
the
soul.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Not
enjoyment,
and
not
sorrow,
 
 
Is
our
destined
end
or
way;
 
But
to
act,
that
each
to-morrow
 
Find
us
farther
than
to-day.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Art
is
long,
and
Time
is
fleeting,
And
our
hearts,
though
stout
and
brave,
Still,
like
muffled
drums,
are
beating
 
Funeral
marches
to
the
grave.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In
the
world's
broad
field
of
battle,
In
the
bivouac
of
Life,
 
 
Be
not
like
dumb,
driven
cattle!
 
Be
a
hero
in
the
strife!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Trust
no
future,
howe'er
pleasant!
 
 
Let
the
dead
Past
bury
its
dead!
Act, -
act
in
the
living
Present!
 
Heart
within,
and
God
o'erhead!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Lives
of
great
men
all
remind
us
We
can
make
our
lives
sublime,
 
And,
departing,
leave
behind
us
 
 
Footprints
on
the
sands
of
time;
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Footprints,
that
perhaps
another,
 
 
 
Sailing
o'er
life's
solemn
main,
 
 
A
forlorn
and
shipwrecked
brother,
 
 
Seeing,
shall
take
heart
again.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Let
us,
then,
be
up
and
doing,
With
a
heart
for
any
fate;
 
Still
achieving,
still
pursuing,
 
 
 
Learn
to
labor,
and
to
wait.
