LIFE

Translated into English Verse by J. D. Carlyle, BD
 

Like sheep, we're doomed to travel o'er
   The fated track to all assigned;
 These follow those that went before,
   And leave the world to those behind.

As the flock seeks the pasturing shade,
   Man presses to the future day;
 While Death, amidst the tufted glade,
   Like the dun robber, waits his prey.
