Wall not for precious chances passed

Weep not for golden ages on the

At sunrise every soul is born again,
Laugh like boy at splendors that

To vanished joys be blind and deaf

My judgments seal the dead past with

Though deep in mire, wiring not your

No shamed-faced outcast ever sank

But yet might rise and be man

Dost thou behold thy lost youth all

Dost reel from righteous retribu-

Then turn from blotted archives Of

And find the futures pages white

Each night a.star to guide thy feet
