《A Psalm Of Life》歌词

[00:00:00] A Psalm Of Life - Hal Holbrook

[00:00:01] A psalm of life

[00:00:03] What a heart of a young man said to the salest

[00:00:09] Tell me not in mournful numbers

[00:00:11] Life is but an empty dream

[00:00:14] For the soul is dead that slumbers

[00:00:16] And things are not what they seem

[00:00:19] Life is real

[00:00:20] Life is earnest

[00:00:21] And the grave is not it's goal

[00:00:23] Dust thou art to dust returnest

[00:00:25] Was not spoken of the soul

[00:00:28] Not enjoyment and not sorrow

[00:00:30] Is our destined end or way

[00:00:32] But to act that each to-morrow

[00:00:34] Find us farther than to-day

[00:00:37] Art is long and time is fleeting

[00:00:40] And our hearts though stout and brave

[00:00:42] Still like muffled drums are beating

[00:00:44] Funeral marches to the grave

[00:00:47] In the world's broad field of battle

[00:00:49] In the bivouac of life

[00:00:51] Be not like dumb driven cattle

[00:00:53] Be a hero in the strife

[00:00:56] Trust no Future howe'er pleasant

[00:00:58] Let the dead

[00:00:59] Past bury it's dead

[00:01:01] Act act in the living Present

[00:01:03] Heart within and God o'erhead

[00:01:06] Lives of great men all remind us

[00:01:09] We can make our lives sublime

[00:01:11] And departing leave behind us

[00:01:13] Footprints on the sands of time

[00:01:16] Footprints that perhaps another

[00:01:19] Sailing o'er life's solemn main

[00:01:21] A forlorn and shipwrecked brother

[00:01:23] Seeing shall take heart again

[00:01:26] Let us then be up and doing

[00:01:27] With a heart for any fate

[00:01:29] Still achieving still pursuing

[00:01:32] Learn to labor and to wait
