THE GREAT
Wonder for the Strong! who, forehead-kissed By superhuman lips,
Following the lights of new horizons
From height of sovereignty,
The smile, the flash, the song of genius
Had, and its folly;
Knew all its flights and all its tears
And all its harmonies;
And from their peak launched to the listening world
Their sacred words;
And died ’mid dreams and symphonies
Bathed in bright sunlight.

Love for the Rebels! Heart-bitten, they, By sùpreme anguish;
