Explore "Sun Shadows" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There never was success so nobly gained, / Or victory so free from selfish dross, / But in the winning some one had been pained / Or some one suffered loss.
There never was so nobly planned a fête, / Or festal throng with hearts on pleasure bent, / But some neglected one outside the gate / Wept tears of discontent.
There never was a bridal morning fair / With hope's blue skies and love's unclouded sun / For two fond hearts, that did not bring despair / To some sad other one.
