LLOYD-GEORGE, by WILSON PUGSLEY MACDONALD Poet's Biography

Last Line: And, going, leaves but silence and despair.
Subject(s): Lloyd George, David (1863-1945)
First Line: His boyhood held high vision of the gods
Last Line: And, going, leaves but silence and despair.
Subject(s): Lloyd George, David (1863-1945)
HIS boyhood held high vision of the gods,
And many years of manhood found him true
To one lone purpose which his spirit knew
To be with most existing things at odds.
And then he wearied of the ungrateful clods,
And, sipping a royal favor, found it sweet;
And now, oblivious wholly of the street,
And traitor to his heroic years, he nods.
The brave young man of Manchester turned away
To hear the singing sirens of applause
And lie against their bosoms and their hair;
Nor knew there comes an inevitable day
When Triumph with her fickle soul withdraws
And, going, leaves but silence and despair.
