In this short life
that only lasts an hour
How much
How little
Is within our power.
-----------------------
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching, 'Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
------------------------
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know...
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
