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.

ASPIRATION AND ATTAINMENT.

Two natures, ours,—two lives

Attest our heavenly birth;—
