<h2> OVERCOMING </h2>
<p>And God is good, I said, and Art is good,<br/>
And labour hath its rich reward of sleep;<br/>
And recompense will come for all who keep<br/>
Dishonour’s ill contagion from the blood.<br/>
<br/>
And over us there curves the infinite<br/>
Blue heaven as a shield, and at the end<br/>
We shall find One who loveth to befriend<br/>
E’en those who faint for shame within His sight.<br/>
<br/>
And down the awful passes of the sky<br/>
There comes the voice that circumvents the gale;<br/>
That makes the avalanche to pass us by,<br/>
<br/>
And saith, “I overcome” to man’s “I fail.”<br/>
“And peradventure now,” said I, “the zest<br/>
Of all existence waits on His behest.”<br/></p>
