AD ASTRA: 103 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: THE THOUSAND QUESTIONS THAT COME SURGING IN
Last Line: THAT ALL LIFE'S BEAUTY IS FOR EVER FLED.
Subject(s): LIFE; SURVIVAL;

The thousand questions that come surging in,
And thunder like the waves upon the beach;
The haven that we ever strive to win,
And yet, despite our striving, never reach;
The doubts that in due season fall to each,
Which baffle and leave us fever'd with the dread
That all Life's beauty is for ever fled.
