A poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Sun Shadows

________________________________________________
Title:     Sun Shadows
Author: Ella Wheeler Wilcox [More Titles by Wilcox]

There never was success so nobly gained,
Or victory so free from selfish dross,
But in the winning some one had been pained
Or some one suffered loss.

There never was so nobly planned a fete,
Or festal throng with hearts on pleasure bent,
But some neglected one outside the gate
Wept tears of discontent.

There never was a bridal morning fair
With hope's blue skies and love's unclouded sun
For two fond hearts, that did not bring despair
To some sad other one.





[The end]
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem: Sun Shadows
