Under those vehement stars,
For it was there I heard
For the first time my spirit
Forging an iron rule for me,
As though with slow cold hammers
Beating out word by word:
"Take love when love is given,
But never think to find it
A sure escape from sorrow
Or a complete repose;
Only

Only yourself can lead you
Up the hard road to heaven

a great man most
If such should speak of his own;
Nor will he act, on her side,
From motives baser, indeed,

Can avow for himself at need;
Never, for lucre or laurels,
Or custom, though such should be rife,
Adapting the smaller morals
To measure the larger life.

With blended powers a work beyond compare;
All their consenting influence, all their care,
To frame one perfect
