THE BUILDERS.

All are architects of Fate,
Working in these walls of Time;
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing useless is, or low;
Each thing in its place is best
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest.
For the structure that we raise,
Time is with materials filed;
Our todays and yesterdays
Are the blocks with which we
build.
Truly shape and fashion these;
? Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think not, because no man sees, -
Such things will remain unseen
In the elder days of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest
care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the gods see everywhere
Let us DO our work as we'll
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house where gods may
Z dwell,
\ Beautiful, entire and clean.
Else our lives are incomplete.
Standing in these walls of Time,
Broken stairways, where the feet
Stumble as they seek to climb
Build today, then, strong and sure,
With firm and ample base;
And ascending and secure
Shall tomorrow find its place.
Thus alone can we attain
To those turrets where the eye
Sees the world as one vast plain
And one boundless reach OF sky.
Henry W. Longfellow.
