And sends us forth to keep or break
      Our promises to pay.

To some the landmark of a new domain.

What balm, what life is in thy ray;
To feel thee is such real bliss,

To sit in sunshine calm and sweet,—
It were a world too exquisite,
For man to leave it for the gloom,
The deep cold shadow of the tomb.
Moore.
