DUTY.

DUTY.

So nigh is grandeur to our dust,So near is God to man;When Duty whispers low, “Thou Must,”The youth replies, “I can.”

So nigh is grandeur to our dust,So near is God to man;When Duty whispers low, “Thou Must,”The youth replies, “I can.”

So nigh is grandeur to our dust,So near is God to man;When Duty whispers low, “Thou Must,”The youth replies, “I can.”

So nigh is grandeur to our dust,

So near is God to man;

When Duty whispers low, “Thou Must,”

The youth replies, “I can.”

—Ralph Waldo Emerson.
