There in the life not made for such as he;

A morning grim with trouble sure to be,

A noon of pain from failure, and a night

Bitter with men's contemning and despite.

This in the first beginning, the green leaf,

Still in the Trades before bad weather fell;

What harvest would he reap of hate and grief

When the loud Horn made every life a hell?

When the sick ship lay over, clanging her bell,

And no time came for painting or for drawing,
