To Those Who’ve Fail’d

Оглавление

Table of Contents

To those who’ve fail’d, in aspiration vast,

To unnam’d soldiers fallen in front on the lead,

To calm, devoted engineers — to over-ardent travelers — to pilots on

their ships,

To many a lofty song and picture without recognition — I’d rear

laurel-cover’d monument,

High, high above the rest — To all cut off before their time,

Possess’d by some strange spirit of fire,

Quench’d by an early death.
