Seek earnestly the good and true, 
Don't be content with dreaming;
Be not deceived, you have your due,
In spite of worldly seeming.  

If worldly things do not succeed 
As you have been expecting,
It may be that your spirit`s need
Demanded such rejecting. 

No need to climb to worldly fame
To find the good around you;
You may have but a humble name, 
Yet true things may surround you. 

F.  Horsley
