SUCCESS.

 How oft have we been taught
 That strength and grace Fashioned and fixed and wrought
 Lies in the human race That every man can master be Of his immediate destiny False prophets every day
 The truth deride
 Who to the people say:
 This mans pride. That strength of will and hardness. Are they which multiply and bless That self-control acquired
 By obstinate resolve Is like giant hired,
 Happiness 10 evolve That all achievement really lies Where man at will can snatch the prise.' But far beyond the ken Of human WILL, Salvation is for men In being still.
