Thy Quest

By George Klingle

Be not afraid of aught but self and sin. Be frank and fearless. Where thy foot hath been Leave footprints firm and deep to lead the way For other feet along time's treacherous day. Turn on thyself the search-light ere thou sleep, That no sweet-featured sin unbidden creep Within thy soul's arena and abide For one short night. Whatever may betide, Keep clean the white page of thy inner life. However keen the sword-blades and the strife Of days when Sin lies wounded and apart,— Go on to victory, wavering human Heart! The goal is worthy of the race to run,— There is a goal beyond time's changing sun,— To conquer and to win, be this thy quest: Fear naught but self, and sin within thy breast.
— George Klingle.
