Doubt not that the time is appointed,

That the chart with a quester is girt,

But remember that star-dust is star-dust

And ranks not the commonest dirt;

That the gods of Olympus were beggars

Or ever they burned to create,

And that rags ripple down into samite

For a Venus who swings on a gate;

That the steps of the paper-box factory,

As well as the gardens of kings,
