English poem

Xvii

by (1871–1900)

Listen in the reader

There were many who went in huddled procession, They knew not whither; But, at any rate, success or calamity Would attend all in equality.

There was one who sought a new road. He went into direful thickets, And ultimately he died thus, alone; But they said he had courage.
