"Thousands of men live, breath and suffer pain Pass off of the stage of action and are never heard of again Why? Because they did not partake of good in this sphere And none were blessed by them and they done no good here Not a line they wrote, nor a word they spoke Could be recalled for to do good, or for a joke Their light went out in the darkness and they were not Remembered more than men of yesterday in the dim thots Will you thus live and die oh man that will never die Leave behind you a memory or a word, not a lie Something that can be recalled and remembered."
