in sun and stars to lift the soul unto unimaginable 

 altitudes. 



" Still glides the stream and shall for ever glide ; 

 The Form remains, the Function never dies ; 

 While we the brave, the mighty, and the wise, 

 We men, who in our morn of youth defied 

 The elements, must vanish ; be it so ! 

 Enough, if something from our hands have power 

 To live, and act, and serve the future hour ; 

 And if, as toward the silent land we go, 

 Through love, through hope, and faith's transcendent 



dower, 

 We feel that we are greater than we know." 



T. C. W.
