by Unknown

This high man, with a great thing to pursue,

Dies ere he knows it.

That low man goes on adding one to one,—

His hundred 's soon hit;

This high man, aiming at a million,

Misses an unit.

That has the world here—should he need the next,

Let the world mind him!

This throws himself on God, and unperplexed

Seeking shall find him.
