July 5, 2023Is Life Worth Living?
IS life worth living? Yes, so long
As there is wrong to right,
Wail of the weak against the strong,
Or tyranny to fight;
Long as there lingers gloom to chase,
Or streaming tear to dry,
One kindred woe, one sorrowing face
That smiles as we draw nigh;
Long as a tale of anguish swells
The heart, and lids grow wet,
And at the sound of Christmas bells
We pardon and forget;
So long as Faith with Freedom reigns,
And loyal Hope survives,
And gracious Charity remains
To leaven lowly lives;
While there is one untrodden tract
For Intellect or Will,
And men are free to think and act
Life is worth living still . . . .
Alfred Austin
Alfred Austin (1835-1913) was a British poet who served as Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1896 until his death. Some of his notable works include "The Tower of Babel," "Savonarola," and "Leszko the Bastard."
