That noble deed Is step toward God,
Lifting the soul from the common sod
To a puler air ana broader view.
We rise by the things that are under our feet:
by what we have mastered OF good and GAIN
by the pride deposed and passion slain.
And the Vanquished Ills that we hourly meet
We hope aspire resolve, we trust
When the morning calls MS to life and light
But our hearts grow weary and ere the night
Our lives are trailing in sordid dust.
We'hope resolve. we aspire, we pray
And we think that we mount the air on wings
Beyond the recall of sensual things
While our feet stlll cling to the heavy clay.
Wings for the angels, but feet for men!
We borrow the wings to find the way
We may hope, and resolve and aspire, and pray
But our feet must rise, we fall again.
Only In dreams is ladder thrown
From the weary earth to- the sapphire walls;
But the dreams depart and the vision falls
And the sleeper wakes on his pillow OF stone.
Heaven is not reached at single bound:
But we build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies
And we mount to Its summit round by rounds,
