Sung On A By-Way

Topics: classic

What of all the will to do?     It has vanished long ago,     For a dream-shaft pierced it through     From the Unknown Archer's bow.     What of all the soul to think?     Some one offered it a cup     Filled with a diviner drink,     And the flame has burned it up.     What of all the hope to climb?     Only in the self we grope     To the misty end of time:     Truth has put an end to hope.     What of all the heart to love?     Sadder than for will or soul,     No light lured it on above;     Love has found itself the whole.
