<h2><SPAN name="page158"></SPAN><span class="pagenum"></span>THE STRUCTURE</h2>
<p class="poetry">Upon the wreckage of thy yesterday<br/>
Design the structure of to-morrow. Lay<br/>
Strong corner stones of purpose, and prepare<br/>
Great blocks of wisdom, cut from past despair.<br/>
Shape mighty pillars of resolve, to set<br/>
Deep in the tear-wet mortar of regret.<br/>
Work on with patience. Though thy toil be slow,<br/>
Yet day by day the edifice shall grow.<br/>
Believe in God—in thine own self believe.<br/>
All that thou hast desired thou shalt achieve.</p>
