The Lion at Lucerne

By Thomas Bailey Aldrich

We often fail by searching far and wide For what lies close at hand. To serve our turn We ask fair wind and favorable tide. From the dead Danish sculptor let us learn To make occasion, not to be denied: Against the sheer, precipitous mountain-side Thorwaldsen carved his Lion at Lu-cerne. — Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
