Life's Lesson

By ELIZABETH B. ZACHARIASEN

ELIZABETH B. ZACHARIASEN
Some day when life's lesson has been taught, When finished the toil for that which we've sought, We shall know at last, at the end of our quest, That the years have taught us, to love is best.
The toiler who wrought with hand and brain, The heroes of war, emblazoned by fame, They all shall know,—deep in each breast,— That neither gold nor fame, but to love is best.
And the idler who traveled a barren road, Who never stooped to his brother's load, Shall know at last, at the end of his rest, That of all life's joys, to love is best.
