Each man has some part to play;
The Past and the Future are nothing
In the face of stern To-day.
2. Arise from your dreams of the Future—
Of gaining some hard-fought field,
Of storming[472] some airy[473] fortress,[474]
Or bidding some giant yield;
Your future has deeds of glory,
Of honor, (God grant it may!)
But your arm will never be stronger,
