And there is gain in this.

By only running right;

Before we reach its height.

Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.

No matter how strong or clever,
Some one will sneer if you pause to hear,

Though close be your aim to the bull's-eye fame,
There are those who will never admit it.
