IN LOFTIER VEIN
MORALITY We cannot kindle when we will The fire that on the heart resides. The spirit bloweth and is still - In mystery our soul abides; But tasks in hours of insight will’d Can be through hours of gloom ful* fill’d. With aching hands and bleeding feet We dig and heap, lay stone on stone; We bear the burden and the heat If the long day, and wish ’fcwere done. Not till the hours of light return All we have built do we discern. Matthew Arnold
