What's The Life Of A Man? |
| As I was a-walking one morning at ease |
| A viewing the leaves as they fell from the trees |
| All in slow motion appearing to be |
| Like those that had withered, they fell from the trees |
| And if you’d seen those trees just a few days ago |
| How beautiful and green they all seemed to grow |
| But a frost came upon them and withered them all |
| And a storm came upon them and down they did fall |
| What’s the life of a man any more than a leaf |
| A man has his seasons, so why should we grieve |
| Although in this world, we appear fin and gay |
| Like a leaf we must withr and soon fade away |
| If you look in the churchyard, it’s there you will see |
| Those that have passed like a leaf from the tree |
| When age and affliction upon them did fall |
| Like a leaf they did wither and down they did fall |
| What’s the life of a man any more than a leaf |
| A man has his seasons, so why should we grieve |
| Although in this world, we appear fine and gay |
| Like a leaf we must wither and soon fade away |
| What’s the life of a man? |
