WARNING
Power, reft of aspiration;
Passion, lacking inspiration;
Leisure, not of contemplation.
Passion, lacking inspiration;
Leisure, not of contemplation.
Thus shall danger overcome thee,
Fretted luxury consume thee,
All divineness vanish from thee.
Fretted luxury consume thee,
All divineness vanish from thee.
Be a man, and be one wholly;
Keep one great love, purely, solely,
Till it make thy nature holy;
Keep one great love, purely, solely,
Till it make thy nature holy;
That thy way be paved in whiteness,
That thy heart may beat in lightness,
That thy being end in brightness.
That thy heart may beat in lightness,
That thy being end in brightness.
