We care no more who loses or who
wins
All, not till all the best of life seems

The best of life begins.

Handclappings, and the tickle gusts Of
praise,
For place or power or gold to gid a

All paths will bring us, were to lose

We, on whose ears youths passing bell

In blowing bubbles, even as children

But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled us

Broken among our childhood's toys, for

Thirty years ago, when all shoes

A journeyman cobbler seldom makes
more than So or So per week.
One may wonder why it is that the
cobbler nearly always finds a mean,
dirty hole to crawl into and to call

not afford to pay much rent. In the
