Death does not extinguish the light.

It puts out the lamp because the dawn has come.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy.
I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy.

Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling

Your mercy in my success alone; but let me find

the grasp of Your hand in my failure.

Walk alone
If they answer not thy call, walk alone;
If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,
O thou of evil luck,
Open thy mind and speak out alone.
