Afterglow I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

The Clock of Life The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power To tell just when the hands will stop At late or early hour. To lose one’s wealth is sad indeed, To lose one’s health is more, To lose one’s soul is such a loss That no man can restore. The present only is our own, So Live, Love, toil with a will Place no faith in “Tomorrow” For the clock may then be still.

La familia recibirá amigo en Puerto Rico Estrella del atardecer y de la noche,       ¡Y una llamada clara para mí! Y que no haya gemidos de la barra,       Cuando me a la salida al mar, Pero una marea como moverse parece dormida,       Demasiado lleno para el sonido y la espuma, Cuando lo que sacó de la profundidad sin límites       Vuelve a casa. Crepúsculo y campana de la noche,  ...

Crossing The Bar Sunset and evening star,       And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar,       When I put out to sea,    But such a tide as moving seems asleep,       Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep       Turns again home.    Twilight and evening...
