THERE have been men whose souls were filledWith dew of knowledge thrice distilled,Who bored holes in Time’s masonryThru which the stupid world could see;Yet Envy with the pen of rage,Wrote “Failure” on the title page!Fame stood aloof, with scornful head,And crowned them—after they were dead!

HERE have been men whose souls were filled

With dew of knowledge thrice distilled,

Who bored holes in Time’s masonry

Thru which the stupid world could see;

Yet Envy with the pen of rage,

Wrote “Failure” on the title page!

Fame stood aloof, with scornful head,

And crowned them—after they were dead!
