  Do not dream away life’s morning, Rise to bless as does the sun; Let no shadow fall about thee, Till thy given work is done. Look not downward, to the valley, Blessings come from heights above; Falter not upon thy journey, Let each effort teem with love. Tho’ thy life work may be humble, Keep a brave and trusting heart; Do it well, it is thy portion, God himself assigned the part. There is not on earth another— Even monarch of the throne— Who can fill thy place so nobly, As thyself, thyself alone. If a few shall rise above thee, And the world their deeds applaud, Do not let their fame depress thee, None can judge thee save thy God. |
