Here you will find the Poem Crosses And Troubles of poet William Ernest Henley
Crosses and troubles a-many have proved me. One or two women (God bless them) have loved me. I have worked and dreamed, and I?ve talked at will. Of art and drink I have had my fill. I?ve comforted here, and I succoured there. I?ve faced my foes, and I backed my friends. I?ve blundered, and sometimes made amends. I?ve prayed for light, and I?ve known despair. Now I look before, as I look behind, Come storm, come shine, whatever befall, With a grateful heart and a constant mind, For the end I know is the best of all.
