AD ASTRA: 103, by                    
First Line: The thousand questions that come surging in
Last Line: That all life's beauty is for ever fled.
Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Life; Survival


The thousand questions that come surging in,
And thunder like the waves upon the beach;
The haven that we ever strive to win,
And yet, despite our striving, never reach;
The doubts that in due season fall to each,
Which baffle and leave us fever'd with the dread
That all Life's beauty is for ever fled.
