And that has made all the difference."

It may be near when it seems afar."

That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops—at all."

And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me
As good belongs to you."

Though much is taken, much abides,
Strong in will, we still go on,
Seeking newer worlds with steadfast eyes."

Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side."

In field or forest, at the desk or loom,
And when my work is done,
Let peace come home."

Go out and fight for it,
Work day and night for it,
Give up your time and peace for it."

There spread a cloud of dust along a plain;
And underneath the cloud, or in it, raged
A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords struck flame."

What will your verse be?"

To win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children;
This is to have succeeded."

No shining crown to win at once.

And grow through labor, pain, and life."

Each minute and unseen part;
For the Gods see everywhere."

Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and passing by."

And shadows will fall behind you.
Be not discouraged, keep on,
The open road lies ahead."
