Excerpt from Noble Love, and Other Poems
Proem
Dread not the lowliness of thy estate,
For ev'ry eager, earnest-purposed soul
There is a highway to nobility.
First know thyself, and then an orbit choose
Where thou canst move and shine - diffusing light,
Yet being its recipient evermore.
Above, beneath, around us - and within
Our own mysterious beings - Knowledge dwells,
Nor are the most exalted heights of fame
Denied to him whose accident of birth
Precludes the hope of adventitious aid.
Brave leaders in the forward march of mind -
In purpose strong - have from the ranks upris'n,
Onward and upward toiling, undismayed,
Until the goal was gained, the guerdon won.
What though we heir not titles, or broad lands?
