Such am I, A lesser life, that what is mine of sky Gladly would give for you, and what of praise. Step, without trouble, down the sunlit ways. We that have touched your raiment, are made whole From all the selfish cankers of our souls, And we would see you happy, dear, or die. Therefore be brave, and therefore, dear, be free; Try all things resolutely, till the best, Out of all lesser betters, you shall find; And we, who have learned greatness from you, we, Your lovers, with a still, contented mind, See you well anchored in some port of rest. Genre Jake Runestad Comment by Northwestern Choir/Tim Sawyer What a lovely piece! 2013-08-06T21:50:17Z
