Human lives are silent teaohing-
BE they earnest, mild and true
Noblest deeds are noblest preaching
From the concentrated few.
Poet-priests their anthems singing,
Hero.sword on corslet ringing,
when truths banner is unfnrled;
outhtul preachers, genius gifted,
Pouring forth their souls uplifted,
Till their preaching slirs the world.
Life is combat, life is striving,
Such Our destiny below ..
Like soythed chariot, driving
Through an onward pressing foe.
Deepest sorrow, scorn, and trial,
Will but teach US selEdeniaI;
Like the Alohemist of old, -.
Pass the ore through cleansing fire,
flour spirit would aspire -ss
TO be Gods refined gold.
We must bend our thougbts to earnest,
Would we strike the idols down:
With purpose of the sternest,
Take the GROSS and leave the crown,
Suffering human life can hallow,
Sufferings lead to Gods Valhalla-
Meekly near, but nobly try,
Like man with soft tears flowing,
Like god with conques. glowing,
Soto love, and work, and die
..... .r... -.-s.-..... SPERANzA.
