Explore "Life's Track" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
This game of life is a dangerous play, / Each human soul must watch alway, / From the first to the very last. / I care not however strong and pure- / Let no man say he is perfectly sure / The dangerous reefs are past.
For many a rock may lurk near by, / That never is seen when the tide is high- / Let no man dare to boast, / When the hand is full of trumps-beware, / For that is the time when thought and care / And nerve are needed most.
