By the Fireside.
For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled;Our to-days 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.
In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest careEach minute and unseen part; For the Gods see everywhere.
Let us do our work as well, Both the unseen and the seen;Make the house, where Gods may dwell, Beautiful, entire, and clean.
