And Time, the Sculptor, with a

Has craven on my face for all

Deep lines of joy and sorrow,

Of labor and of service and

And now you show me this,

And placid face, unlined, I'M

This is not this fatuous thing

Retouched and smoothed and

Out of the pain, the struggle,

These are my scars of battle
