World-wide apart, and yet akin,As showing that the human heartBeats on forever as of old.
And thy deep eyes, amid the gloom,Shine like jewels in a shroud.
The pen became a clarion.
Through woods and mountain passesThe winds, like anthems, roll.
Still achieving, still pursuing,Learn to labor and to wait.
At first laying down, as a fact fundamental,That nothing with God can be accidental.
A sympathy in choice.
Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength not my weakness.
Of a truth, men are mystically united: a mystic bond of brotherhood makes all men one.
Jobling, there are chords in the human mind.
Pity and needMake all flesh kin. There is no caste in blood.
He watch'd and wept, he pray'd and felt for all.
Never elated while one man's oppress'd;Never dejected while another's blessed.
If thou art something bring thy soul and interchange with mine.
Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glowFor other's good, and melt at other's woe.
