1k * 'k SONNET By Archibald Lampman Not to be conquered by these headlong days, But to Stand free; to keep the'mind at brood On life's deep meaning, nature s‘aititude Or loveliness, and time‘s mysterious ways; At every thought and deed to clear the haze Out of our eyes, considering only this, _ What man, what life, what love, what beauty 15, This ls to live, and win the final praise. Though strife, ill fortune, and harsh human need Beat down the soul, at moments blind and dumb With agony: yet, patienceâ€" there shall come Many great voices from life's outer sea, Hours of strange triumph, and, when few men heed, Murmurs and glimpses of eternity. * i' 1' A.C.W.W.
