Who long for great things and do small:
We toll among the trivial sods.
Within the garden Of the gods.
While the dark clusters hang above,
Rich with the Juice OF life and love.
We cannot reach and pluck them down,
These fair pomegranates of rcnown.
Whose juice LIES early hope restores,
For we must work and do the chores
"'Above us -sternly loom forever,
The mighty mountain OF cndeavor,
And whose on their summit stands,
Looks on the sun-kIsscd tablelands
We grasp our mountain staff to climb
Their sky-enshrouded peaks sublime,
Up where the crystal torrent pours,
And then-we stop and do the chores
"Mr Campbells greatness of thought
and purpose was such as to forbid d.
