Success Is Counted Sweet

• SUCCESS is counted sweetest
• By those who neer succeed.
• To comprehend a nectar
• Requires sorest need.
• Not one of all the purple host
• Who took the flag to-day
• Can tell the definition,
• So clear, of victory,
• As he, defeated, dying,
• On whose forbidden ear
• The distant strains of triumph
• Break, agonized and clear.

Within My Reach

• WITHIN my reach!
• I could have touched!
• I might have chanced that way!
• Soft sauntered through the village,
• Sauntered as soft away!
• So unsuspected violets
• Within the fields lie low,
• Too late for striving fingers
• That passed, an hour ago.

I Had No Time To Hate

• I HAD no time to hate, because
• The grave would hinder me,
• And life was not so ample I
• Could finish enmity.
•   
• Nor had I time to love but since
• Some industry must be,
• The little toil of love, I thought,
• Was large enough for me.
