The End We Sought

Title:     The End We Sought
Author: Joseph Horatio Chant [More Titles by Chant]

The end we sought is not attained,
But wisdom has been won,
And thus a higher goal is gained.
_That_ like the moon has sadly waned,
While _this_ shines as the sun.

A shorter route to India's strand
Columbus failed to find.
That was an object truly grand,
But in the wealth of this fair land
Grandeur and good combine.

[The end]
Joseph Horatio Chant's poem: End We Sought
