THE HERITAGE, by                    
First Line: Today the heart looks up to hear
Last Line: And heirs of all they longed to be!


Today the heart looks up to hear
Anew the exultant speech of Spring,
The world-old echoes, fluted clear
Across a world of blossoming;

The souls of all who loved and knew
The face of beauty wake again
In color on the radiant hills,
In music through the aisles of grain;

And we, together, breathing deep
The wonder and the ecstasy,
Are lords of all they could not keep
And heirs of all they longed to be!
