• Why will we struggle to attain, and strive,
  When all we gain is but an empty dream?--
  Better, unto my thinking, doth it seem
  To end it all and let who will survive;
  To find at last all beauty is but dust;
  That love and sorrow are the very same;
  That joy is only suffering's sweeter name;
  And sense is but the synonym of lust.
  Far better, yea, to me it seems to die;
  To set glad lips against the lips of Death--
  The only thing God gives that comforteth,
  The only thing we do not find a lie.

• Shall hope prevail where clamorous hate is rife,
  Shall sweet love prosper or high dreams have place
  Amid the tumult of reverberant strife
  'Twixt ancient creeds, 'twixt race and ancient race,
  That mars the grave, glad purposes of life,
  Leaving no refuge save thy succoring face?
