Poem--SUCCESS IS COUNTED SWEETEST
SUCCESS IS COUNTED SWEETEST
by: Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)
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.
