Joseph Skipsey

Alas!

ALAS! the woe the high of heart,
     Seem pre-ordained to undergo,
While proud ambition hides the smart,
     And smiles delude the world below.
 
Their anguish, like a Samson blind,
     Gropes on in darkness, till at length
It grasps the pillars of the mind, grasp
     And dies a victim to its strength.
