AD ASTRA: 56 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: WHILE IN THE MIRROR OF THINE OWN PURE MIND
Last Line: A PATRIOT OF THE WORLD BY GIFT OF GRACE.
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE; PASSION;

'While in the mirror of thine own pure mind,
And in the foretaste of thy perfect love,
A nobler manhood I am fain to find,
A worthier steward I am sworn to prove,
Believing that our trials are from above,
Scorning revolt as treason to the race,
A patriot of the world by gift of grace.
