Notes

  • Epigraph:

    Beauty and life around you smile,
    Fragrant with hope and love,
    And yonder stand the mountain heights
    Where you may rise above
    The mists that cloud the lower vale
    With failure and alarms -
    Up! up! for glory waits beyond,
    With twice ten thousand charms.

    Beauty and life and hope and love
    Kindle your morning skies.
    Grasp these with kindly reverent hand,
    And hold them as a prize.
    Once, only once, Life's scenes pass by,
    With morning glories may inspire
    The joy of coming years.
