Classic Poem

Lift up your eyes, lift up your thoughts, lift up your hearts amain,
The dawn is on the mountains, though the night still haunts the plain;
The night still haunts the valleys, but the hills are all aglow:
Lift up your eyes and your thoughts and your hearts as into the world we go!

Bright are the hues of the song-birds and merry their madrigale,
Mellow our muffled hoof-beats on the flowery-fragrant vale;
And lo! o'er the heights in splendor the sun of our hope we know,—
Lift up your eyes and your thoughts and your hearts as into the world we go!
