Falls a benediction from the loving skies?
Laughs the merry sunshine to thy happy eyes?
Floats a peace from starlight, mountain, cloud, and tree?
Thou art serving nature, since nature serveth thee.
Comes a strength, a beauty, from the wise of yore?
Do they guide thy footsteps who have lived before?
Out of books upspringeth power of mastery?
Thou art serving wisdom, since wisdom serveth thee.
Are thy friends and neighbors an abiding cheer?
Does affection's glory clothe thy golden year?
Praisers, helpers, comrades, everywhere dost see?
Thou art serving friendship, since friendship serveth thee.
