“The cheerful light, the vital air, Are blessings widely given; Let nature's commoners enjoyThe common gifts of heaven.{{pbr}}The well-taught philosophic mindTo all compassion gives; Casts round the world an equal eye, And feels for all that lives.{{pbr}}If mind, as ancient sages taught, A never dying flame, Still shifts thro' matter's varying forms, In every form the same,{{pbr}} Beware, lest in the worm you crush A brother's soul you find; And tremble lest thy luckless hand Dislodge a kindred mind.”
