Born amidst joy,

Died amidst cheer,

Who could have known the sorrow,

And the young lad’s fear?

The innocence of thy face,

The wide open eyes of thee,

Ask with woe not regret,

"How terrible it is to be!"

"Life so full of cares,

"Is better not to lead,

"Away from vexatious crowd,

"Let Divine be for our feed."

"The door of death thy fear,

"What life can never see,

"Merely is a challenge,

"Gateway to eternity"

"A challenge can thee accept?"

First yes, but then a nay;

This life but is a test,

Is not a simple play.

Ye life is must to live,

The pains there to bear,

Can’t show thy cowardice,

It is but a sin sheer.

But why have left the test?

Why did you cease to be?

The tear since of no use,

I pray may God bless thee
