A SAGE who gleaned from all things inly gain, With test of load on load his pupil plied, Till Labor's part came leagued with that of Pain - "Enough," spoke he; "you've borne this grosser strain - Feel now the lesson's subtler weight beside: Not by men's force alone is victory won - Allied must fortitude and effort be, Great deeds by strength with suffering joined are done, For dual ways of life merge these in one - Through each there lies but variance of degree; Doing and bearing blend in shaded line, And high-lit power is reared on dim-wrought base, Low toils in tears suffused exalted shine, Achievements on endurance shaped define A free land's course - the road that lifts a race." |
