THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY.

By Paul Hamilton Hayne

Art thou in misery, brother? This I say, Be comforted. Thy grief shall pass away. Art thou elated? Ah! be not too gay, Temper thy joy. This too shall pass away. Art thou in danger? Still let reason sway, And cling to hope. This too shall pass away. Tempted art thou? In all thine anguish lay One truth to heart: This too shall pass away. Do rays of laureled glory round thee play? Kinglike art thou? This too shall pass away. Whate'er thou art, where'er thy footsteps stray, Heed Wisdom's voice. All things must pass away. —Paul Hamilton Hayne.
