Sing a While Longer by Edwin Markham

poetry
Written By

Has the bright sun set,

   Has the gale grown stronger?

Still we’ll not grieve yet:

   We will sing a while longer!

Has our youth been met

   By Time the wronger?

Let us not grieve yet,

   Let us sing a while longer!

Is the world beset,

   Do the sorrows throng her?

Let us not grieve yet:

   Let us sing a while longer!
