MERE Is NO summit you may not attain,
| ] No purpose which you may not achieve,
If you will wait serenely, and believe
Each seeming loss is but a step to'rd gain
Between the mountain tops lie vale and plain;
Let nothing make you question, doubt grieve.
Give only good, and good alone receive
And you welcome JOY welcome pain.
That which you most desire awaits your word:
Throw wide the door, and bid it enter in.
Speak, and the strong vibrations shall be stirred
Speak. and above earth's loud unmeaning din
Your silent declarations shall be heard.
All things are possible to Gods own kin
