Success is Counted Sweetest
Emily Dickinson
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 –
whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!
