Robert W. Service

Just Think!

Just think! some night the stars will gleam
Upon a cold, grey stone,
And trace a name with silver beam,
And lo! 'twill be your own.
 
That night is speeding on to greet
Your epitaphic rhyme.
Your life is but a little beat
Within the heart of Time.
 
A little gain, a little pain,
A laugh, lest you may moan;
A little blame, a little fame,
A star—gleam on a stone.
