    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.

The word unto the prophet spoken
Was writ on tablets yet unbroken:
The word by seers or sibyls told,
In groves of oak or fanes of gold,
Still floats upon the morning wind,
Still whispers to the willing mind.

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.

One day at least in every week,
The sects of every kind
Their doctrines here are sure to seek,
And just as sure to find.
