To thy rich store the crowd is DIlnu,
Nor knows thy very name.
What matters that, if thou uncoil
The soul that God has given,
Not in the worlds mean eye to toll,
But in the sight of Heaven
If thou art true, yet in thee turks
For fame human sigh
To nature go, and see how works
That handmade of the sky.
Her own deep bounty she forgets
Is full of germ and seeds,
Nor glorifies herself, nor sets
Her flowers above her weeds.
She hides, the modest leaves between,
She loves untrodden roads
Her richest treasures are not seen
BY any eye but Gods.
Accept the lesson. Look not for
Reward from out thee chase
All selfish ends, and ask no more
Than to fulfill thy place.
