THE SUPERSEDED.
As newer comers crowd the fore We drop behind; ........ We who have labored long and sore ' Times out of mind,. _. And keen are yet, must npf regret To drop behind. ’ • Yet there are some of irs who grieve To go behind i ' Staunch, strenuous souls who scarec believe Their fires declined, And know none cares, remembers, spares . Who go behind. ’Tis not that we have unforetold The drop behind ; We feel the new must oust the old In every kind, y v But yet, westhink, must jfre, inust WE,' - Too,.drop behind?
—Thomas Hardy,
