AROUSE THEE, SOUL!
Arouse
thee, Soul!
God
made not thee to sleep
Thy
hour of earth in doing naught—away;
He
gave thee power to keep.
O!
use it for his glory while you may.
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Arouse
thee, Soul!
O!
there is much to do
For
thee if thou would work for humankind
The
misty Future through,
A
greatness looms—‘tis MIND, awakened MIND!
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Shake
off thy sluggishness,
As
shakes the lark the dew-drop from its wing;
Make
but one Error less
One Truth—thine offering to MIND’S altar
bring!
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Be
what thou surely art,
An
emination from the Deity,
A
flutter of that heart
Which
fills all Nature, sea, the earth, and sky.
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Arouse
thee, Soul!
And
let the body do
Some
worthy deed for human happiness
To
join, when life is through,
Unto
thy name, that angels both may bless!
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Leave
nothings of the earth;—
And
if the body be not strong to dare
To
blessed thoughts give birth.
High
as yon heaven, pure as heaven’s air.
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Or
sleep for evermore,
And
be what all nonentities have been
Crawl
on till life is o’er:
If
to be aught but this thou e’er dost mean,
Arouse
thee, Soul!
Robert
Nicoll.
