Excerpt from Life and Letters of Charles Russell Lowell: Captain Sixth United States Cavalry, Colonel Second Massachusetts Cavalry, Brigadier-General United States Volunteers Some day the soft Ideal that we wooed Confronts us fiercely, foe-beset, pursued, And cries reproachful, Was it then my praise And not myself was loved Prove now thy truth, I claim of thee the promise of thy youth Give me thy life, or cower in empty phrase The victim of thy genius, not its mate.'
