To show that all my way was dim,.
And his alone the road to heaven;
And thus it was l answered him..
Strike not the staff hold awaE.
You cannot give me yours, dear friends:
Up the steep hill our paths are set
In different ways, to one sure end.
What, though with eagle glance upfxed
On heights above our mortal ken,
You tread the broad. cure stones of faith
More firmly than do weaker men.
ITO each according to his strength;
But, as we leave the plains below,
Let US carve out wider stair
broader pathway through the snow.
And when upon the golden crest
We stand at last together, freed
From mists that circle round the base,
And clouds that but obscure our creeas.
Eve shall perceive that though our steps,
Have wandered wide apart, dear friend.
No pathway can be wholly wrong
That leads unto one perfect end"
