    The gull shall whistle in his wake, the blind wave break in fire.
    He shall fulfill God's utmost will, unknowing His desire,
    And he shall see old planets pass and alien stars arise,
    And give the gale his reckless sail in shadow of new skies.
    Strong lust of gear shall drive him out and hunger arm his hand,
    To wring his food from a desert nude, his foothold from the sand.

Work thou for pleasure--paint or sing or carve
The thing thou lovest, though the body starve--
Who read more

Work thou for pleasure--paint or sing or carve
The thing thou lovest, though the body starve--
Who works for glory misses oft the goal;
Who works for money coins his very soul.
Work for the work's sake, then, and it may be
That these things shall be added unto thee.

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Every man's work read more

Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious
stones, wood, hay, stubble;
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall
declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire
shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
