It is the time when souls like thine can work

Unto the best advantage on themselves.

On thee I ray forth from my fount of light

The germs that tend to raise self-consciousness.

Go, gather them to make thine ego strong.

In later earth-life they will come to flower.

There shall the blossoms by thy soul be sought;

In its own nature it will take delight

When it can joy in planning its desires.
