COMPANIONSHIP.
Reading edition
Lured by no lower goal between,
From light to light still upward move,
Aspiring to the heights serene
Of magnanimity and love.
Thou shalt not take thy way alone;—
The Beautiful, the True, the Good,
Shall draw to thee, undream’d, unknown,
Heaven’s fairest First-Born Brotherhood!
And with them, steadfast to the end,
The sons of God of like degree,
Earth’s noblest souls shall thee attend
With kingliest, kindliest company.
