Omnes Vanitas

Title:     Omnes Vanitas
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

Alas for ambition's possessor!
Alas for the famous and proud!
The Isle of Manhattan's best dresser
Is wearing a hand-me-down shroud.

The world has forgotten his glory;
The wagoner sings on his wain,
And Chauncey Depew tells a story,
And jackasses laugh in the lane.

[The end]
Ambrose Bierce's poem: Omnes Vanitas
