SO WAGS THE WORLD, by ELLEN MACKAY HUTCHINSON CORTISSOZ
First Line: Memory cannot linger long Last Line: Forever and a day.
MEMORY cannot linger long, Joy must die the death. Hope's like a little silver song Fading in a breath. So wags the weary world away Forever and a day.
But love, that sweetest madness, Leaps and grows in toil and sadness, Makes unseeing eyes to see, And heapeth wealth in penury. so wags the good old world away Forever and a day.
