GRADATIM

HEAVEN is not reached at a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round and round.
I count this thing to be grandly true: That a noble deed is a step toward God, Lifting the soul from the common sod To a purer air and broader view.
We rise by things that are under feet; By what we have mastered of good and gain; By the pride deposed and passion slain, And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet.
