Poems (White)/To Live
TO LIVE
Your heart you keep pure, your mind you keep clean, Your life keep honest, and do nothing mean; Just try to be kind, and never to show Evil, that every one's nature must know. To build the likeness of God in our soul, Just conquer old Evil, and to him dole Poor diet; he will soon die for the want Of nourishment, and no more will he flaunt His pinions, so to disfigure the plan Of God to preserve us, as He began; That we should inherit His kingdom above, Live in the joys of purified love. To work for the good of others, and then We'll know full well of our highest joys when, In serving others, we soon come to know The greatest service to ourselves we show.
