What Is Life
Now you’re high and then you’re low
what’s to be you cannot know
if your luck will fail or last
so then do not be downcast
Now you’re low and then you’re high
always sunshine in your sky
or there’s hope inside the dark
if your eye has that right spark
Life with all its loss and yield
makes you think of trees in fields
weaving branches, sap that streams
so the hot blood dreams its dreams
Life’s a crossroads, ways divide
all eternity is short
when at once you must decide:
go ahead, stay where you are
or go back again and start
