First Line: Were I to pause and hesitate
Last Line: Remembered radiance of the sun!
Alternate Author Name(s): Dobson, Austin


WERE I to pause and hesitate
For something 'picked,' 'alembicate,'
I might, by chance, no further get
Than mere parade of epithet;
So I'll just wish to You and Yours
Strength to achieve while strength endures;
And, when the power to do is done,
Remembered radiance of the sun!
