Rh “Three Chants of To-day and To-morrow” (1905).

Spirited words had soaring zest, The puny heart was frail and shy We can soar to each topmost crest, Or linger here. The heart sobbed: Try! And when I made endless heights my quest The heart wailed here below despairingly And when with the heart I sank to rest, The eagle's eyrie stirred me snaringly. “Lyrics of love and life” (1907).
