“Lifeisreal!Lifeisearnest!

Andthegravesisnotitsgoal;

Dustthouart, todustreturnest,

Andagain:

“Livesofgreatmenallremindus,

令人惊奇的是,儿时的某些东西总会给我们留下深刻的印象。我至今还记得朗费罗的几句诗:

“生活是真实的!生命是真诚的!

死亡并非它最终的目标;

你本为尘埃,必归为尘土,

这是指肉体,而非灵魂。”

还有:

“伟人的生命警醒着我们,

我们能够高尚地生活,

离开人世的时候,

也会在时间的沙滩上留下我们的足迹。”

诚然,与现在的年轻人相比,我们这代人的情感更为丰富。但是,无论这首诗是否为佳作,它朴素的言辞都传达了一种信息,并在一个小男孩的脑海中留下永久的记忆。
