Be Not Too Hard

	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.
