“Seldom despairing men look up to heaven,

Although it still speak to ’em in its glories;

For when sad thoughts perplex the mind of man,

There is a plummet in the heart that weighs

And pulls us, living, to the dust we came from.”

“Seldom despairing men look up to heaven, Although it still speak to ’em in its glories; For when sad thoughts perplex the mind of man, There is a plummet in the heart that weighs And pulls us, living, to the dust we came from.”
