165. The Goal is Won165
Your days of orphan-sorrowsAre behind you
And
Not beside you.
Why, then, do you
Helplessly cry?
Your days of excellence-joys
Are ahead of you
And
Not behind you.
Why, then, do you not
Immediately run and declare:
THE GOAL IS WON.
165 Note: When composing a song based on this poem, the author changed line 10. Original “Not beside you”. Revised “Not behind you.”↩
