First Or Last (Song)

    By Thomas Hardy



    If grief come early
    Joy comes late,
    If joy come early
    Grief will wait;
    Aye, my dear and tender!

    Wise ones joy them early
    While the cheeks are red,
    Banish grief till surly
    Time has dulled their dread.

    And joy being ours
    Ere youth has flown,
    The later hours
    May find us gone;
    Aye, my dear and tender!
