A SCHOLAR'S EPITAPH IN LEMNOS.
March 18, 1916.
In a small town far from this classic shore,
Whereof I read in Homer and in history,
Deeming its day of fame for ever o'er,
Half myth, half lapt in mystery—
Whereof I read in Homer and in history,
Deeming its day of fame for ever o'er,
Half myth, half lapt in mystery—
In that small town I bore a scholar's name,
Though in the world were many much my betters;
But immortality is more than fame,
As life was more than letters.
Though in the world were many much my betters;
But immortality is more than fame,
As life was more than letters.
