Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day! For it is Life,
The very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the Varieties
And Realities of your Existence;
The Bliss of Growth,

For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou
shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

From fibers of pain and hope and trouble
And toil and happiness,--one by one,--
Twisted together, or single or double,
The varying thread of our life is spun.
Hope shall cheer though the chain be galling;
Light shall come though the gloom be falling;
Faith will list for the Master calling
Our hearts to his rest,--when the day is done.

I will prepare and some day my chance will come.

Beware of desperate steps. The darkest day,
