Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - Good-Bye
Work rating: Low

Fools! must we ever quarrel with our fate,
 Too late
 Reading the worth of what we did despise,
 And wise
 At the journey`s end to weep it scarce begun
 When done?

 No more! `Tis ever the same story told
 As of old.
 Children, we used to wish our childhood past:
 At last
 It ended, as this journey ends, and we
 Are free.

 Shall we lament? It were an idle tale
 To wail.
 Can we be wise? Oh wisdom comes too late,
 And fate
 Answers our wicked prayer for liberty:
 ``Good--bye.``
