Try again by S. E. Kiser
I have hoped, I
have planned, I have striven,
To the will I
have added the deed;
The best that
was in me I've given,
I have prayed,
but the Gods would not heed.
I have dared and
reached only disaster,
I have battled
and broken my lance;
I am bruised by
a pitiless master
That the weak
and the timid call Chance.
I am old, I am
bent, I am cheated
Of all that
Youth urged me to win;
But name me not
with the defeated,
To-morrow again,
I begin.
