I will be Worthy of it.
The Home.

I may not reach the heights I seek
My untried strength may fail me
Or half way up the mountain peak
Fierce tempests may assail me.
But tho' that place I never gain
Here in his comfort for my pain
I will be worthy of it.

I may not triumph in success
Despite my earnest labor,
I may not grasp results that bless
The efforts of my neighbor.
But tho' my goal I never fee
This thot shall ever dwell with me
I will be worthy of it.
...............
My path may always lead thro' night
Like some deserted by way
But tho' life's dearest joy I miss
There lies a nameless joy in this
I will be worthy of it.
