HORATIUS BONAR (180S-1S89).
SILENT, like men in solemn haste, Girded wayfarers of the waste, We press along the narrow road That leads to life, to truth, to God.
We fling aside the weight, the sin. Resolved the victory to win ; We know the peril, but our eyes Rest on the grandeur of the prize.
"No idling now, no wasteful sleep. Our hands from earnest toil to keep ; No shrinking from the desperate fight, No thought of yielding or of flight ;
No love of present gain or ease, No seeking man or self to please ; With the brave heart and steady eye. We onward march to victory.
What though with weariness oppressed? 'Tis but a little, and we rest ; Finished the toil — the race is run ; The battle fought — the field is won.
