Song Is Not Dead

Topics: classic

Song is not dead, although to-day          Men tell us everything is said.     There yet is something left to say,          Song is not dead.     While still the evening sky is red,          While still the morning gold and grey,     While still the autumn leaves are shed,     While still the heart of youth is gay,          And honour crowns the hoary head,     While men and women love and pray          Song is not dead.
