DISSATISFIED.
O sad, while the song-bird sweetly
Proclaims the morning's light.
So sad, while the baby voices
Babble a gay good night.
Proclaims the morning's light.
So sad, while the baby voices
Babble a gay good night.
So sad for the ideal vanished,
So sad for the far-off years;
So sad for the faint fulfillment,
So sad for the causeless tears.
So sad for the far-off years;
So sad for the faint fulfillment,
So sad for the causeless tears.
So sad for a lack of longing,
Although the great ideal,
Which has led me ever onward,
Is still beyond the real.
Although the great ideal,
Which has led me ever onward,
Is still beyond the real.
