William Wetmore Story quotes
Of every noble work the silent part is best, Of all expression that which can not be expressed.
William Wetmore Story
Ah me! the vision has vanished, The music has died away!
William Wetmore Story
I sing the hymn of the conquered, who fell in the Battle of Life,- The hymn of the wounded, the beaten, who died overwhelmed in the strife.... The hymn of the low and the humble, the weary, the broken in heart, Who strove and who failed, acting bravely a silent and desperate part.
William Wetmore Story
And all but their faith overthrown.
William Wetmore Story
I sing the hymn of the conquered, who fell in the battle of life, The hymn of the wounded, the beaten who died overwhelmed in the strife; Not the jubilant song of the victors for whom the resounding acclaim Of nations was lifted in chorus whose brows wore the chaplet of fame, But the hymn of the low and the humble, the weary, the broken in heart, Who strove and who failed, acting bravely a silent and desperate part.
William Wetmore Story
