                                “The clock of life is wound but once,

                                  And no man has the power to tell

                                    Just when the clock will stop,

                                          At late or early hour.

                                    Now is the only time you own,

                                    Live, Love and Toil with a will;

                                       Place no faith in tomorrow,

                                    For the clock may then be still”.
