AD ASTRA: 49, by                    
First Line: The tender, wistful smile that spoke of life
Last Line: Yet stored for one unconscious of its worth!
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Hope; Love; Optimism


'The tender, wistful smile that spoke of life
Nursing a hope nourish'd upon despair;
The struggle of a soul whose inward strife
Seem'd hourly more than its frail shell could bear—
O what a treasury of love was there!—
A richer mine man never found on earth,
Yet stored for one unconscious of its worth!
