Verse for Today
At the midnight in the silence of the sleep-time, When you set your fancies free, Will they pass to where—by death, fools think imprisoned — Low he lies who once so loved you, whom you loved so, —Pity me? No, at noonday in the t bustle of man’s ivorktime Greet the unseen with a cheer. Bid him forward, breast and back as either should be, “Strive and thrive!” cry “Speed, fight on, fare ever There as here.” From Epilogue to “Asolando.” by Robert Browning, 1812-1889.
