This World is All a Fleeting Show

This world is all a fleeting show,
For man's illusion given;
The smiles of Joy, the tears of Woe,
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow -
There's nothing true, nut Heaven!

And false the light on Glory's plume,
As fading hues of Even;
And Love and Hope, and Beauty's bloom,
Are blossoms gather'd for the tomb -
There's nothing bright, but Heaven!

Poor wand'rers of a stormy day!
From wave to wave we 're driven,
And Fancy's flash, and Reason's ray,
Serve but to light the troubled way -
There's nothing calm, but Heaven!


Thomas Moore . 1780-1852

Poetry of Moore

Thomas Moore
born 1780, died 1852


Poems

Erin! The Tear And The Smile In Thine Eyes
Oh The Shamrock
Oh, The Sight Entrancing
Forget Not The Field
Peace To The Slumb'rers!
Where Shall We Bury Our Shame?
War Song - Remember The Glories Of Brien The Brave
Sound The Loud Timbrel
Fallen Is Thy Throne
War Against Babylon
All That 'S Bright Must Fade
This World Is All A Fleeting Show
I Saw The Moon Rise Clear
Oh, Come To Me When Daylight Sets
Go Where Glory Waits Thee
Oh, Soon Return
There Comes A Time
Fly To The Desert, Fly With Me
Oh, No - Not Ev'n When First We Lov'd
'Tis The Last Rose Of Summer
The Meeting On The Ships
Written On Passing Deadman's Island
