Be not too hard for life is short And nothing is given to man Be not too hard if he's sold or bought For he must do the best he can Be not too hard when he blindly dies Fighting for things he does not own Be not too hard when he tells lies Or if his heart is sometimes stone Be not too hard for soon he'll die Often wiser than he began
