True Wealth

With place, with gold, with power— O, ask me not With these my little hour of life to blot! A little hour indeed! and I would fain Its moments spend in what is worth its pain. What traveler would faint through troub- lous lands To gather only what must leave his hands The moment that he takes his homeward ship? Earth's goods and gauds give every man the slip; But wealth of thought, and richer wealth of love, Must pass for coin in any world above. The good to others done while here I strive, Is all at last that shall my dying shrive; And, setting sail, my slight self-con- quest's store Is all my freight if I shall come to shore. — Selected.
