EXCELISIOR.
Hope sits high on her pedestal, Her white hand points the roseate sky, While softand clear, her voice I hear; Thrilling resolve which may not die. /‘ Spirit ! thou hast within thyself, f Power to achieve thy highest thought,; Thyself can’st climb this height sublime, Upon the ladder of ‘ I ought,’ Thus, bring life’s ideal nearer God, With every aspiration rise, /' He truest lives, who fullest gives Himself to God in sacrificje, Thus brkve thought attaining here. Shall live, excelling year by year.” •' ’ « ' * ' ■' ‘J. W. MAY.
