Beauty and Duty

Beauty and DutyI slept and dreamed that life was beauty–
I woke and found that life was duty!
Was thy dream then, a shadowy lie?
Toil on, dear heart, courageously,
And thou shalt find thy dream to be
A truth and noonday light to thee.

~ Ellen Sturgess Hooper (1816-1841)

Be good, sweet maid, and let
Who will be clever!
Do noble things,
Not dream them all day long,
And so make life, death
And that vast forever
One grand, sweet song.

~ Charles Kingsley (1819-1875)
