We shape ourselves the joy or fear
Of which the coming life is unde,
And fill our future's ajtmosukere.
With sunshine or \v timde.
The tissue of the life t he
We weave with eollorsail our own:
And in th 1 field of destiny
We reap as we have sewn.
St. 11 shall the soul around it call
.
Tbt shadows which it gathered here:
And, pauited on the eternal wall,
The past shall reappear.
