Poesy

Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

Successive bards pursue Ambition's fire
That shines, Oblivion, above thy mire.
The latest mounts his predecessor's trunk,
And sinks his brother ere himself is sunk.
So die ingloriously Fame's _elite_,
But dams of dunces keep the line complete.

[The end]
Ambrose Bierce's poem: Poesy
