How Soon We Cease to Care, i A little while to work, a little while to play, And when we step aside our playthings put away— Tc watch our children strive and hear their children shout. Our old ambitions dead, our jealousioe I burned out. A little while to hope, a little while to grieve Because we try so hard, so meagerly achieve; I A little while to care and then to cease to sigh Because the hopes we had were only born to die. A little while to boast over triumphs we have won, And then to step aside, our pride and boasting done— To sit within the shade and nod, unnoticed there — How short a time it is, how soon we cease to care.
