• O ME! O life!... of the questions of these
  recurring Of the endless trains of the faithless
  of cities filld with the
  foolish Of myself forever reproaching myself,
  (for who more foolish than I, and who more
  faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the
  lightof the objects meanof the struggle ever
  renewd Of the poor results of allof the
  plodding and sordid crowds I see around me   
• Of the empty and useless years of the restwith
  the rest me intertwined The question, O me! so
  sad, recurringWhat good amid these, O me, O
  life?   
• Answer. That you are herethat life exists, and
  identity That the powerful play goes on, and you
  may contribute a verse.
