Though all the bards of earth were dead,
And all their music passed away,
What Nature wishes should be said

Additional quotes by William Winter

Ambition has but one reward for all: A little power, a little transient fame, A grave to rest in, and a fading name.

Fierce for the right, he bore his part
In strife with many a valiant foe;
But Laughter winged his polished dart,
And kindness tempered every blow.

White sail upon the ocean verge,
Just crimsoned by the setting sun,
Thou hast thy port beyond the surge,
Thy happy homeward course to run
And winged hope, with heart of fire,
To gain the bliss of thy desire.

Though all the bards of earth were dead, And all their music passed away, What Nature wishes should be said She’ll find the rightful voice to say. - William Winter
