Through life or death, and keep her virgin soul,

In memory of him, e’er spotless and unstained

By taint of foreign love.

LIFE’S MISSION

Go, seek your earthly mission, ye who toil,—

Discern why God hath placed you here.

Hide not the talent He hath given you

For idle sloth or cowardly fear!

Some worthy task but waits for each to do,

To aid the world’s great work to-day;
