Yet, if thy will be such, that neither I, —
Or for " another and a better world, " —
Must throw my mite in of utility; —
Or e'en, in this, must see the flag unfurl'd
Of active use; — if I must thus be hurl'd, —
To keep me humble, from each high career,
Whence man is hailed with blessings; — if I'm whirled
Thus, from distinction's gratifying sphere: —
Still moisten my pale cheek with gratitude's meek tear! —
Or for " another and a better world, " —
Must throw my mite in of utility; —
Or e'en, in this, must see the flag unfurl'd
Of active use; — if I must thus be hurl'd, —
To keep me humble, from each high career,
Whence man is hailed with blessings; — if I'm whirled
Thus, from distinction's gratifying sphere: —
Still moisten my pale cheek with gratitude's meek tear! —
