But in a second, or in a year, or in a score, A man can be forged by the forces around him In the fires of his life. A man, who, like all others, lives briefly before the Countena.nce of Time, But sows his seed, and passes his restlessness or curiosity On to those who inherited the flesh, And is grateful that they too Hold the promise of being men That for their spans also, they can stand strong and tall. o The face of Universe, no matter how mute to them, Knows they are her strength, her life.
