This could but have happened once,- And we missed it, lost it forever.
The great mind knows the power of gentleness.
One wise man's verdict outweighs all the fools'.
For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.
Would you have your songs endure? Build on the human heart.
Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.
