And this gray spirit yearning in desire To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Never, oh! never, nothing will die; The stream flows, The wind blows, The cloud fleets, The heart beats, Nothing will die.
There's no glory like those who save their country.
Such a one do I remember, whom to look at was love.
Happy he With such a mother! faith in womankind Beats with his blood, and trust in all things high Comes easy to him; and tho' he trip and fall, He shall not blind his soul with clay.
