VICTORY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The clouds that gathered round the light of hope
Last Line: That god does little in the struggles of the race.
Subject(s): Hope; Life; Pain; Soul; Victory; Optimism; Suffering; Misery


THE clouds that gathered round the light of hope
Have vanished now far down the azure deep:
And in the shaded vale or on the mountain slope
My soul shall wander there no more to weep.

And yet the mocking sight of others' bitter pain,
Or stunted growth and life, divinely pleading grace,
May check one's ecstasy and make the heart complain
That God does little in the struggles of the race.
