WEEPING-CROSS
With bold heart, high-aspiring aim,Forth fared he in the morning gray,
To storm the Citadel of Fame
And win a crown of fadeless bay:
Ungarlanded, at day's decline,
Ruefully weighing gain with loss,
When neither moon nor star did shine,
Homeward he stole by Weeping-Cross.
11th November, 1917.
