DO AND BE BLEST

Dare to think, though others frown;

Dare in words your thoughts express;

Dare to rise, though oft cast down;

Dare the wronged and scorned to bless.

Dare from custom to depart;

Dare the priceless pearl possess;

Dare to wear it next your heart;

Dare, when others curse, to bless.

Dare forsake what you deem wrong;
