"Loss And Gain" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 

Loss And Gain


When I compare
What I have lost with what I have gained,
What I have missed with what attained,
Little room do I find for pride.
I am aware
How many days have been idly spent;
How like an arrow the good intent
Has fallen short or been turned aside.
But who shall dare
To measure loss and gain in this wise?
Defeat may be victory in disguise;
The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.



Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.

"Loss And Gain" explanation


When you feel lost and it seems all hope is lost, that’s when you should stay optimistic, believe in yourself, and keep moving forward. Success is not about not failing. It’s about getting back up when you fall down.
