| Be Not Too Hard | |
| Be not too hard for life is short | |
| And nothing is given to man. | |
| Be not too hard when he is sold or bought, | |
| For he must manage as best he can. | |
| Be not too hard when he blindly dies | |
| Fighting for things he does not own. | |
| Be not too hard when he tells lies | |
| Or if his heart is sometimes like a stone. | |
| Be not too hard for soon he'll die, | |
| Often no wiser than he began. | |
| Be not too hard for life is short | |
| And nothing is given to man. | |
| And nothing is given to man. |
