The Forgotten One

The forgotten one
Owes what heart the price
Of countless tears, for what's missed!
Some debts, though, are nice!

The forgotten one
Of whom, time-misted
To live up to needs, no more
Which person's life-hopes.
Yet who's praise, out which climbed slopes
Is first sought - though dead!
