Friedrich Schiller - Honors
Work rating: Medium

When the column of light on the waters is glassed,
  As blent in one glow seem the shine and the stream;
But wave after wave through the glory has passed,
  Just catches, and flies as it catches, the beam
So honors but mirror on mortals their light;
Not the man but the place that he passes is bright.
