[‘How sacred is this place,’ in awe I cried]
[The thoughts that wait upon the uninspired]
[As down the westward slope of life we move]
[Fain would I serve my brethren. How shall I]
[Be not too much exalted, if to-day]
[Despair not, if thy spirit-fire burns low]
[‘These thoughts are old.’ True; but each race of men]

[Live for thyself, thy pleasure and thy gain]
Live for thyself, thy pleasure and thy gain,
And with thee ne'er will Happiness abide:
But serve thy fellows and relieve their pain,
And she will steal, unbidden, to thy side.
