COMPANIONSHIP.
Lured by no lower goal between,
From light to light still upward move,
Aspiring to the heights serene
Of magnanimity and love.
Thou shalt not take thy way alone;—
The Beautiful, the True, the Good,
Shall draw to thee, undream’d, unknown,
Heaven’s fairest First-Born Brotherhood!
And with them, steadfast to the end,
The sons of God of like degree,
Earth’s noblest souls shall thee attend
With kingliest, kindliest company.
