Read LIFE AND DEATH of It Can Be Done Poems of Inspiration, free online book, by Joseph Morris, on ReadCentral.com.

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 a secret yet.

Life! We’ve been long together,
Through pleasant and through cloudy weather;
’Tis hard to part when friends are dear;
Perhaps 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!”

Anna Barbauld.
