Section one
 tell me not in mournful number,
Life is but any empty dream!
For soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
What dose this mean??
 This is meaning that he believed in life
hereafter, which is human life, he declares,
would not be life with out the belief of life
hereafter.
 Section 2
 Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou are, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken the soul
 This means: that the soul is being long
lastering.
 Section 3
 Not enjoy, and not sorrow,
Its your destined end or way I
But to act, that each tomorrow
Find us further than today
 This means: that we proceed through a
path, through a transition (death) to an
ever lasting life hereafter.
 Section 4
 Art is long, and time is fleeting,
And out hearts, though stoot and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
This is meaning: that art is endless,
immortal; and man’s life in in his mortal
frame, is measured by a discreet maker,
time.
 Section 5
 In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivovae of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Meaning: no doubt, and no matter one’s
belief a heroic life is the only one worth
living
 Section 6
 Trust no future, how're pleasant!
Let the dead past bury its dead!
Act – in the living present!
Heart within, and god o’er head!
Meaning: the good lord will take care of us,
just as he takes care of wild birds. Have
faith, make no plans, do not act rationally
 Section 7
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime, and,
departing, leave behind us.
Foot prints on the sands of time.
This means: thought out the payers of
history we will find those who have left
their marks. Some rational, some irrational
 Section 8
 Foot prints that perhaps another, sailing
o’er life's solemn main, a forlorn and ship
wrecked brother, seeing shall take heart
again.
 Meaning: we are guided by those who
succeed and we emulate their acts those
who don’t succeed indeed who gets
themselves into trouble we eschew
 Section 9
 Let us then be up and doing, with a heart
for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing
learn to labor to wait.
 Meaning: one should not labor long if
expected results are not forthcoming
during ones life; and, it would be a
complete waste of a life to wait for an
award in the here after on account of
some unfounded belief in such
