I was chokin' mad with thirst,
An' the man that spied me firstLeaps to blossom in a burst,
Slowly, slowly, as the first,Love blest and love accurst
Was here in days long past;
This time is not the first,For me, calm hers, as from the first.
'Twas but another bubble burstTrue, Nell, replied John; but what yet is the worst
For us that remain, the best always go first;Oh, tender hand, and first
To hold the warm, delicious bread
To lips burned black of thirst.And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst,
How such a glance came there; so, not the firstAll the best and all the worst
Comes from which of them is first.That is not the worst;
I could do without the thing,
And not be the first.And, like the three-forked lightning, first
Breaking the clouds where it was nursed,Long have I waited lonely, shunned as a thing accurst,
Monstrous, moody, pathetic, the last of the lands and the first;"Some apple blossom must be first,
With beauty's urgency to burst'Framing him jealous, fierce, at first,
We gave him justice as the ages rolled,
Will to bless those by circumstance accurst,To turn the earth, which seemed to be accurst,
Since ev'ry trench was painful as the first.Great light upon my darkened spirit burst.
Great peace fell on me also, and great strength –
Oh, had that prayer been first!You should stay longer if we durst;
Away! Alas! that he that firstThe Boss just went on as he’d done from the first,
And he favoured Big Duggan no more than the worst;"A filthy insult!" screamed the first;
The second smiled, "Ingenious blind!"
The youngest neither blessed nor cursed,of the First,
Who holds that if way to the Better there be, it exacts a full look
at the Worst,Well, I've heard it from the first
That you wizened little fellers
Is a hundred times the worst!
