Spurs us In vain. and weary Of the race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
All not till all the best Of life seems past
The best Of life begins.
To toll for only fame.
Handclappings and the tickle gusts Of
praise.
For place or power or gold to gid name
Above the grave whercto
All paths will bring us, were to lose our
days.
We, on whose ears youths passing bell

In blowing bubbles. even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope of trivial gain that ruled US
lies
Broken among our childhood's toys, for
We win TO self-control!
And mail ourselves In manhood, and there
Upon us from the vast and MINDLESS

Those clearer thoughts that are unto the
