Now's The Day And Now's The Hour.

't Is Sweeter For Thee Despairing Than Aught In The World Beside,-jessy!

O Life! Thou Art A Galling Load, Along A Rough, A Weary Road, To Wretches Such As I!

Dweller In Yon Dungeon Dark, Hangman Of Creation, Mark! Who In Widow Weeds Appears, Laden With Unhonoured Years, Noosing With Care A Bursting Purse, Baited With Many A Deadly Curse?

And Wild-scatter'd Cowslips Bedeck The Green Dale.

The Upright, Honest-hearted Man Who Strives To Do The Best He Can, Need Never Fear The Church's Ban Or Hell's Damnation.
