First Line: At each new enterprise - lost hopes!
Last Line: And look on, sorrowfully shaking their heads.
Subject(s): Failure
At each new enterprise -- lost hopes!
Unfulfilled wishes are like dead weights to ambition;
They gather and stack themselves in a mournful group
And look on, sorrowfully shaking their heads.
