He pondered it.<br>Through page of earth and sun and star<br>He heard the swift sweep of the Song<br>Of Law and Motion, streaming far,<br>Which seemed to sing, “The world is wrong.” <br>Men passed him by. They brushed aside<br>The dreamer in his dreams of law.<br>They laughed and left him, open-eyed,<br>Fixed on the point that no man saw.<br>“Life is to scheme, to love, to play.<br>Strike out for plunder in the fight<br>Our fathers did so,” answered they,<br>“And they have said, ‘The world is right.’” </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Men took the baubles at the call,<br>Men rose to wealth and power and state,<br>But he—the mightiest of them all—<br>Remained, because his heart was great.<br>The fool cried: “Life is but a jest,”<br>The schemer: “Earth is for the strong,”<br>The thoughtless: “Why think for the rest?”<br>But he cried: “Nay. The world is wrong.” </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And friends declined, and fortune frowned,<br>And hope grew dim with health’s decay,<br>The thorns of hardship hedged him round,<br>But still he toiled from day to day—<br>From clue to clue, from year to year,<br>From law to law, from light to light,<br>Till came the triumph flashing clear—<br>“The world is wrong and I am right!” </div><div style="margin:10px 0">“The Laws of Life, eternal, true,<br>Swerve not by prayer for that or this.<br>A Power hath given the world to you<br>And ye have made it what it is.<br>Why see worth perish, what accrue<br>Why see greed flourish day by day?<br>A Power hath given the world to you,<br>And ye can make it what ye may.” </div><div style="margin:10px 0">No mourners wept beside his bier,<br>Scant homage to his grave was brought.<br>He left no wealth behind him here,<br>Only the splendour of his thought.<br>And as the brown earth, heaping slow,<br>Shut the rude coffin from the sight,<br>One who had known him long ago<br>Cried: “After all, the world was right!” </div><div style="margin:10px 0">But Thought is king no clowns can bind,<br>And Genius, in its crowning hour,<br>Sows deep the seed that, for Mankind,<br>Springs, centuries hence, to splendid flower,<br>When, by that lonely stone of white,<br>With heads uncovered, men shall say:<br>“The world was wrong and he was right<br>Who died for what we reap to-day!”</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=George+Essex+Evans">George Essex Evans</a><div class=q>
