Song

By Victor James Daley

What shall a man remember In days when he is old, And Life is a dying ember, And Fame a story told? Power, that came to leave him? Wealth, to the wild waves blown? Fame, that came to deceive him? Ah, no! Sweet Love alone! Honour, and Wealth, and Power May all like dreams depart, But Love is a fadeless flower Whose roots are in the heart.
