Quote #3

So long as faith with freedom reigns And loyal hope survives, And gracious charity remains To leaven lowly lives; While there is one untrodden tract For intellect or will, And men are free to think and act, Life is worth living still.

More from Alfred Austin

  1. Is life worth living? Yes, so long As there is wrong to right, Wail of the weak against the strong, Or tyranny to fight;
  2. He is dead already who doth not feel Life is worth living still.
  3. Is life worth living? Yes, so long As Spring revives the year, And hails us with the cuckoo's song, To show that she is here;
  4. O'er the wires the electric message came, 'He is no better; he is much the same.'
