My Longkang

Is life worth living? Yes, so long
As there is wrong to right,
Wail of the weak against the strong,
Or tyranny to fight;
Long as there lingers gloom to chase,
Or streaming tear to dry,
One kindred woe, one sorrowing face
That smiles as we draw nigh;
Long as a tale of anguish swells
The heart, and lids grow wet,
And at the sound of Christmas bells
We pardon and forget;
So long as Faith with Freedom reigns,
And leaven lowly lives;
While the Hope survives,
And gracious Charity remains
To leave is one untrodden tract
For Intellect or Will,
And men are free to think and act
Life is worth living still . . . .
