Or rather still I’d like to be a child,

As innocent as in those other days,

If from stern duty’s path I was beguiled,

Ere I had reached the parting of the ways.

But still I see the folly of my fears,

For something seems to say: “It’s not too late;

For to whatever port the pilot steers,

He may return. It is not left to Fate.”


Turn failure into victory,
