Th Our an selfishness to be crowned , this our the arch victors -foe of within the world , ,
_jESTot of great deeds , exalted feelings , do Our lives consist ; we have to plod our way
Along the dusty highway ; often grope , In dim uncertain light ; nieet the same checks ,
And crosses , day by day ; oft with sad hearts , And weary footsteps , we pursue the path
That leads we know not whither . If between Our hearts and heaven there were no ladder set ,
On which the kindly angels come and go , Bring And carry ing us ing message back the s of heart love ' , s and faint peace cry for , help , — ¦
We should faint utterly . But ah ! no stone Was ever pressed by weary , aching head ,
But on it rests the ladder . Heaven draws near To every longing soul . 'Tis sometimes well ,
Toilworn , and weary , to despair of earth , For then heaven opens to us , and we find ,
They are not far apart ; we learn that life Must blend them to be truly life at all .
Thus are its dark clouds silvered with the light That is beyond them ; when the night is dark ,
We find that it is canopied with stars ; And all life ' s common things are thus redeemed From commonness ; its daily trifles raised
From trivialities ; deep spiritual truths , Are learnt amid its humblest , homeliest walks ; And thus the soul is furnished and prepared
For its extended life beyond the grave .
