Excerpt from Dipped From the Stream: A Composite of Verses Dipped From the Stream of Sympathy, Sentiment and Truth

After All

They may say when my labors are ended
That I lacked all the gifts of the great;
They may find in my work nothing splendid,
And may call it but third or fourth rate;
They may pity me even for trying
To climb to a place on the height;
They may scorn all my efforts, denying
That my pinions Were fashioned for flight.

They may turn from me when they have weighed me
And sap I was Wanting, and then
Permit me to rest where they've laid me,
Ignored and forgotten by men;
But, even so, shall my endeavor
Be deemed unavailing or small?
Better that than be one whom they'll never
Consider worth weighing at all.
