5 m% l8 B# \8 }4 h, _　　And every letter was a piece I chipped
　　From off my heart, a fragment newly clipped
  J& p+ O. |1 _. k5 c$ O9 W5 B　　From the mosaic of life; its blues and grays,
　　Its throbbing reds, I gave to earn your praise.
* W. G+ H8 A0 b　　To make a pavement for your feet I stripped

　　Beneath your steps to soften all your ways.

　　Although you do not heed; the long, sad years
