F-A-I-L-U-R-E - ZaunköniG - 30.07.2007 F-A-I-L-U-R-E I climbed full easy up the wooded height, And walked the upland's flowering slopes in May; Then walls rose sheer, and glaciers barred the way, But worse than all a mist took all my light, And blotted out the crest that lured my sight. I tried again; but storms drove me astray, And forced me to retreat--to close the day With failure on the darkling fields at night. Yet from the valley where I rest awhile I gaze with joy upon the peak's white throne, Proud of the heights that still my dreams beguile, And humbly happy in my lower zone That still the highest beckons with a smile To broader, grander outlooks than my own. |
