...hould strangers wake it? 

Let the thick curtain fall; 
I better know than all 
How little I have gained, 
How vast the unattained. 

Not by the page word-painted 
Let life be banned or sainted: 
Deeper than written scroll 
The colors of the soul. 

Sweeter than any sung 
My songs that found no tongue; 
Nobler than any fact 
My wish that failed of act. 

Others shall sing the song, 
Others shall right the wrong, -- 
Finish what I begin, 
And all I fail of win. 

What matter, ...Read more of this...
by Whittier, John Greenleaf
