Success is counted sweetest

By Emily Dickinson On May 13, 2020
Share

Success is counted sweetest

By those who ne’er succeed.

To comprehend a nectar

Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the Purple Host

Who took the Flag today

Can tell the definition

So clear of Victory

As he defeated – dying – 

On whose forbidden ear

The distant strains of triumph

Burst agonized and clear.
