There is better than that in our hearts, O enter therein,

A light burneth, though wan

And weak be the flame, yet it gloweth, our Humility!

Ah, how can it be

Trimmed o’ the wick,

And replenished with oil to burn brightly and golden and quick?

For deep in our hearts

We wish to be thankful through lean years and fat without change,

Knowing that here Thou hast set for the spirit a range:

We would play well our parts,
