The best laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley.
Or like the snow falls in the river, A moment white-then melts for ever . . .
Hope springs exulting on triumphant wing.
All my fears and cares are of this world; if there is another, an honest man has nothing to fear from it.
But to see her was to love her, Love but her, and love forever.
The upright, honest-hearted man Who strives to do the best he can, Need never fear the church's ban Or hell's damnation.
