Notes:

"Life" is a tiny, melodramatic piece that is full of humour, drama, and assorted vocal techniques.  A great closer!

Text:

(After the French)
O Life, how slight!
A little sweet,
A brief delight,
And then – we meet!

O Life, how vain!
A little spite,
A little pain,
And then – good-night!

- Charles G. D. Roberts (1860-1943)
