We Shall Surely Die

________________________________________________
Title:     We Shall Surely Die
Author: William Ernest Henley [More Titles by Henley]

We shall surely die:
Must we needs grow old?
Grow old and cold,
And we know not why?

O, the By-and-By,
And the tale that's told!
We shall surely die:
Must we needs grow old?

Grow old and sigh,
Grudge and withhold,
Resent and scold? . . .
Not you and I?
We shall surely die!

[The end]
William Ernest Henley's poem: We Shall Surely Die
