Unencouraged Aspiration

Title:     Unencouraged Aspiration
Author: Madison Julius Cawein [More Titles by Cawein]

Is mine the part of no companion hand
Of help, except my shadow's silent self?
A moonlight traveller in Fancy's land
Of leering gnome and hollow-laughing elf;

Whose forests deepen and whose moon goes down,
When Night's blind shadow shall usurp my own;
And, mid the dust and wreck of some old town,
The City of Dreams, I grope and fall alone.

[The end]
Madison Julius Cawein's poem: Unencouraged Aspiration
