Prepared long since our garland or our grave.

For, at that hour, the sum of all our past,

Act, habit, thought, and passion, shall be cast

In one addition, be it more or less,

And as that reading runs so shall we do;

Meeting, astounded, victory at the last,

Or, first and last, our own unworthiness.

And none can change us though they die to save!

“SARAH SANDS”
