HASTE NOT, REST NOT.


without haste! without rest!
Bind the motto TO thy breast;
Bear il with thee as spell;
Storm and sunshine guide it welH
Heed rot flowers that round thee bloom
Beer it onward to the tomb.
Haste not! let no theughtless heed
Mar for aye the spirits speed:
Ponder well and know the right,
Onward then with all thy might;
Haste not! years can meier atone
For one reckless action done.
Rest not! life is sweeping by,
Go and dare before you die
Something mighty and sublime
Leave behind and conquer time!
Glorious 'tis to live for aye,
When these forms have passed away
Haste not! rest not calmly wait,
Meekly bear the storms Of fate!
Duty be thy proper guide
Do the right what'er betide!
Haste not rest not! conflicts past,
Cod shall crown thy works at last.
From the German Of Gatbe.
