The Mind
The Stars are old, that stood for me
From The Single Hound (1914)
The Mind
The Stars are old, that stood for me—
The West a little worn,
Yet newer glows the only Gold
I ever cared to earn—
Presuming on that lone result
Her infinite disdain,
But vanquished her with my defeat,
'Twas Victory was slain.
