“Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
While the world’s tide is bearing me along;
Sterner desires and darker hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong.”

To ask them: Whom must we get to know
To die, so you live and we know?”

The friends in darker fortunes tried.
I copied them—but I regret
That I should ape the ways of pride.”
