We shall surely die: <br />Must we needs grow old? <br />Grow old and cold, <br />And we know not why? <br /> <br />O, the By-and-By, <br />And the tale that’s told! <br />We shall surely die: <br />Must we needs grow old? <br /> <br />Grow old and sigh, <br />Grudge and withhold, <br />Resent and scold?… <br />Not you and I? <br />We shall surely die!<br /><br />William Ernest Henley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-shall-surely-die/
