I WILL BE WORTHY OF IT.
I may not reach the heights 1 seek, My untried strength may fail me; Or, halfway up the mountain peak Fierce tempests may assail me. But though that place I never gain, Herein lies comfort for my pain— I will be worthy of it. I may not trimnp in success, Despite my earnest labor; I may not grasp results that bless The efforts of my neighbor. But though my goal I never see This thought shall always dwell in me—--1 will be worthy of it. The golden glory of Love's light May never fall on my way; My path may always lead through night, Like some deserted by-way. But though life's dearest joy I miss, There lies a nameless strength in this— I will be worthy of it. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
