ICARUS, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tis something from that tangle to have won
Last Line: Good night!
Subject(s): Icarus; Mythology - Classical


'T IS something from that tangle to have won;
'T is something to have matched the wild-bird's flight;

'T is something to have soared and touched the sun.
What though the lashing billows roar beneath?
Better than death in life is life in death: --
Good night!
