Living

Lives there whom pain hath evermore pass'd by

by William Watson 1858–1935

From The Poems of William Watson (1893)

Living

Lives there whom pain hath evermore pass'd by
And Sorrow shunn'd with an averted eye?
Him do thou pity, him above the rest,
Him of all hapless mortals most unbless'd.
