THE BEGINNING AND THE END.
Death
In my breath,
Cried I then:
“Men
Burn and blight!
Nourish crime!
Scale the height!
Climb, men, climb!
Climb and fight!
Win by might!
Wrong or right!
Blood!”
In my breath,
Cried I then:
“Men
Burn and blight!
Nourish crime!
Scale the height!
Climb, men, climb!
Climb and fight!
Win by might!
Wrong or right!
Blood!”
Well
In a cell
Here I am—
D---n!
From my flight
So sublime
I alight
Ere my time,
And in fright
Here I grope
Through the night
Without hope.
What a plight!
Ah, the rope!
Thud!
In a cell
Here I am—
D---n!
From my flight
So sublime
I alight
Ere my time,
And in fright
Here I grope
Through the night
132
What a plight!
Ah, the rope!
Thud!
