by Katherine Fitzhugh McAllister.
Decoration by D. S.
HERE have been men whose souls were filled
With dew of knowledge thrice distilled,
Who bored holes in Time’s masonry
Thru which the stupid world could see;
Yet Envy with the pen of rage,
Wrote “Failure” on the title page!
Fame stood aloof, with scornful head,
And crowned them—after they were dead!
