Life!I know Not What Thou Art
●Anna Letitia Barbauld
Life!I know not what thou art,
But know that thou and I must part;
And when,or how,or where we met
I own to me’s a secret yet.
Life!We’ve been long together
Through pleasant and through cloudy weather;
’Tis hard to part when friends are dera—
Perhaps’t will cost a sigh,a tear;
--Then steal away,give little warning,
Choose thine own time;
Say not Good Night,--but in some brighter clime
Bid me Good Morning.
