No man can feel himself alone
The while he bravely stands
Between the best friends ever known
His two good, honest hands.

A rose to the living is more
Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead.

Though life is made up of mere bubbles,
'T is better than many aver,
For while we've a whole lot of troubles,
The most of them never occur.
