To set the world rejoicing.

A BROADER FIELD

O thou who sighest for a broader field

Wherein to sow the seeds of truth and right—

Who fain a fuller, nobler power would wield

O'er human souls that languish for the light—

Search well the realm that even now is thine!

Canst not thou in some far-off corner find

A heart sin-bound, like tree with sapping vine,
