So the multitude goes—like the flower or the weedThat withers away to let others succeed ;So the multitude comes—even those we . behold,To repeat every tale that has often beentold. For we are the same our fathers have been ;We see the same sights our fathers have seen;We drink the same stream, we view the same sun,And run the same course our fathers have run. The thoughts we are thinking, our fathers would think;From the death we are shrinking, our fathers would shrink;To the life we are clinging, they also would cling;But it speeds from us all like a bird on the HAVE IT, JUST THE THING 1 WILL DO A pose indicating self commendation.
