Unleash thy hopes and spur them onward to the goal,
Unsatisfied with part, aspiring to the whole.
By Love impelled, thought, tarry not! And day by day
Encumbrances lay off, to seek the heav'nly way.
Ascend the mount of inspiration, peak by peak,
And let each onward march outstrip thy yesterday.
The Godhead beckons thee, so let thy heart bespeak
Unceasingly the zeal which Love alone imparts,
And squander not one precious hour in worldly marts.
Let duty broaden, and that vision vaster grow
Which seeks the infinite, eternal Truth to know!
