First or Last by Thomas Hardy

Performed by
Thomas Hardy

First or Last Annotated

If grief come early
&nbsp Joy comes late,
&nbsp If joy come early
&nbsp Grief will wait;
&nbsp       &nbsp Aye, my dear and tender!

Wise ones joy them early
While the cheeks are red,
Banish grief till surly
Time has dulled their dread.

&nbsp And joy being ours
&nbsp Ere youth has flown,
&nbsp The later hours
&nbsp May find us gone;
&nbsp       &nbsp Aye, my dear and tender!
