    I knock unbidden once at every gate--
    If sleeping, wake--if feasting, rise before
    I turn away--it is the hour of fate,
    And they who follow me reach every state
    Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
    Save death, but those who doubt of hesitate,
    Condemned to failure, penury and woe,
    Seek me in vain and uselessly implore,
    I answer not, and I return no more.

And while the ship read more

Seek not for fresher founts afar,
Just drop your bucket where you are;
And while the ship right onward leaps,
Uplift it from the exhaustless deeps.
Parch not your life with dry despair;
The stream of hope flow everywhere--
So under every sky and star,
Just drop your bucket where you are.
