Tell me not, in…

Tell me not, in mournful numbers, / "Life is but an empty dream!" // For the soul is dead that slumbers, / And things are not what they seem. // Life is real! Life is earnest! / And the grave is not its goal; // "Dust thou art, to dust returnest," / Was not spoken of the soul. // - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 82): A Psalm of Life (What the Heart of the Young Man Said to the Psalmist)
