MOMENTS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: LIKE THE MANNA, MUTE AS SNOW
Last Line: LIFE WHEREON ALONE WE LIVE.
Subject(s): LOVE;
Like the manna, mute as snow,
Swift the moments come and go,
Each sufficient for the needs
Of the multitude it feeds;
One to all, and all to one,
Superfluity to none,
Ever dying but to give
Life whereon alone we live.
