A Last Word

Title:     A Last Word
Author: Madison Julius Cawein [More Titles by Cawein]

Not for thyself, but for the sake of Song,
Strive to succeed as others have, who gave
Their lives unto her; shaping sure and strong
Her lovely limbs that made them god and slave.

Not for thyself, but for the sake of Art,
Strive to advance beyond the others' best;
Winning a deeper secret from her heart
To hang it moonlike 'mid the starry rest.

[The end]
Madison Julius Cawein's poem: Last Word
