LEARNING.
See how those worlds that roll afar
Serenely beam on one another!
There nowhere burns a sun or star
But helps to cheer some darker brother.
Serenely beam on one another!
There nowhere burns a sun or star
But helps to cheer some darker brother.
219
Wouldst thou, O man! be good and wise,
Share thus thy light among thy neighbours:
In giving, not in hoarding, lies
The truest meed of Learning's labours!
Share thus thy light among thy neighbours:
In giving, not in hoarding, lies
The truest meed of Learning's labours!
