And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,
Went home and put a bullet through his head.”

Stared at the Moon; and then I knew he knew.
And then he smiled at her; to him ‘twas funny—
Her calm steel eyes, her earth-old throat of honey!”

In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands.”
