Onward, then, with all thy might;
Haste not—years can ne'er atone
For one reckless action done!
Rest not—life is sweeping by.
Do and dare before you die;
Something worthy and sublime
Leave behind to conquer time;
Glorious 'tis to live for aye,
When these forms have passed away.
Haste not—rest not. Calm in strife
