Duty

The sweetest lives are those to duty wed, Whose deeds, both great and small, Are close-knit strands of an unbroken thread where love ennobles all. The world may sound no trumpets, ring no bells, The Book of Life the shining record tells. From an old calendar

The victories won by prayer,

By prayer must still be held;

The foe retreats...but only when

By prayer he is compelled.
