(K. Lascelles)
|
When all the laughter dies in sorrow
|
And the tears have risen to a flood
|
When all the wars have found a cause
|
In human wisdom and in blood
|
Do you think they'll cry in sadness
|
Do you think the eye will blink
|
Do you think they'll curse the madness
|
Do you even think they'll think
|
When all the great galactic systems
|
Sigh to a frozen halt in space
|
Do you think there will be some remnant
|
Of beauty of the human race
|
Do you think there will be a vestige
|
Or a sniffle or a cosmic tear
|
Do you think a greater thinking thing
|
Will give a damn that man was here
|
