What The Public Ought To Know About Life Assurance By A Lady © 1858

PART III.
Considerations on Life
Assurance
‘Tis astern and startling thing to think
HoW often mortality stands On the brink
Of its grave Without any misgiving;
And yet in this slippery world of strife,
In the stir of human bustle so rife.
There are daily sounds to tell us that Life
Is dying, and Death is tiring!
Ay, Beauty the Girl, and Love the Boy,
Bright as they are with hope and joy,
How their souls would sadden instanter,
To remember how one of those wedding bells,
Which ring so merrily through the dells,
Is the same that knells
Our last farewells,
Only broken into a canter I
Hood.
