A vision dim of life May have been mine. A doubtful balance in a doubtful strife, With ne'er a sign Of all that's great, of what is just, to cast the odds Perchance for thee Is there reserved a gallant hope perhaps the gods Are tired of me.
34 THE NEED YES, I shall die, that ne'er have lived before, And none shall know, and none may ever care, The pre-ordained end is here, and nevermore Shall words of mine implore insensate air.
Yes, I shall die, and have no mourner, none ! Have I not writ, and... wrought and sung in vain ? 'Tis finished, broken, ere 'twas scarce begun, This motherhood, that bears and dies in pain.
'Tis but a dull, ungrateful, sordid task, A long drawn-out, and grey and grim delay, To live, to toil sans hope, and ne'er to ask What most one needs upon the empty way.
Had I but won a swift triumphal day, Had known my words ne'er lived to die with me, Then had I sped upon my destined way, And never turned to ask what life might be.
D 2 AMBITION LET not the day of ease Allure the thought of danger passed from thee ; Alone he's strong who sees Around him, what, perchance, in front may be.
