THE BUILDERS

BY HENRY W. LONGFELLOW

All are architects  of fate. Working in these walls of Time; Some with  massive  deed and great, 

Some with  ornaments of rhyme.

For the structure that we raise,

Time is with material filled; Our todays and yesterdays,

Are the blocks  with  which  we build.

Truly  shape and fashion  these; Leave no yawning gaps between; Think not, because no man sees, 

Such  things  will remain unseen.

Build today, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base;

And  ascending  and secure

Shall  tomorrow  find its  place.
