    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 to-day

    Can tell the definition,

    So clear, of victory,

    As he, defeated, dying,

    On whose forbidden ear

    The distant strains of triumph

    Break, agonized and clear!
