First Line: Forever and forevermore
Last Line: An empty mocking, husk!
Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John
Forever and forevermore,
Across the heights, the deeps,
Spurred by an ever-flaming zeal
That slumbers not, nor sleeps—
We chase the furtive form of fame
Beyond the edge of dusk,
To bear within our arms at length,
An empty mocking, husk!
