Look upward! surely, upward
Winds the path that you should tread.
Look downward, too! Gods glOries
Are not all overhead!
The higher views inspire.
But they are not complete

That grow beneath your feet.
Look upward! look downward!
Look to the east and west!

There's a joy Of earth and air,
There's something that will thrill you
If you seek it-everywhere.
