    Within that awful volume lies
    The mystery of mysteries!
    Happiest they of human race,
    To whom God has granted grace
    To read, to fear, to hope, to pray,
    To lift the latch, and force the way:
    And better had they ne'er been born,
    Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.

We search the world for truth; we cull
The good, the pure, the beautiful,
From all old flower fields of the soul;
And, weary seeker of the best,
We come back laden from out quest,
To find that all the sages said
Is in the Book our mothers read.
