One day my life will end; and lest
Some whim should prompt you to review it,
Let her who knows the subject best
Tell you the shortest way to do it;
Then say, 'Here lies one doubly blest.'
Say: 'She was happy.' Say: 'She knew it.'


The Hymn (1954)


One day my life will end; and lest Some whim should prompt you to review it, Let her who knows the subject best Tell you the shortest way to do it;...

One day my life will end; and lest Some whim should prompt you to review it, Let her who knows the subject best Tell you the shortest way to do it;...

One day my life will end; and lest Some whim should prompt you to review it, Let her who knows the subject best Tell you the shortest way to do it;...

One day my life will end; and lest Some whim should prompt you to review it, Let her who knows the subject best Tell you the shortest way to do it;...
