Growth of Man — like Growth of Nature —
Gravitates within —
Atmosphere, and Sun endorse it —
Bit it stir — alone —
Each — its difficult Ideal
Must achieve — Itself —
Through the solitary prowess
Of a Silent Life —
Effort — is the sole condition —
Patience...
Power is a familiar growth —
Not foreign — not to be —
Beside us like a bland Abyss
In every company —
Escape it — there is but a chance —
When consciousness and clay
Lean forward for a final glance —
Disprove that and you may —
