One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, Never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, Sleep to wake.
gpt
Speed, fight on, fare ever There as here! are the last words of this brave soul. In truth,
human
Sun-treader--life and light be thine for ever; Thou art gone from us--years go by--and spring Gladdens, and the young earth is beautiful, Yet thy songs come not--other bards arise, But none like thee--they stand--thy majesties, Like mighty works which tell some Spirit there Hath sat regardless of neglect and scorn, Till, its long task completed, it hath risen And left us, never to return.
