Success
Success
is counted sweetest
By
those who ne'er succeed.
To
comprehend a nectar
requires
sorest need.
Not
one of all the purple host
who
took the flag to-day
can
tell the definition,
so
clear,of victory,
as
he,defeated, dying,
on
whose forbidden ear
the
distant strains of triumph
break
,agonized and clear.
