| 303. Onward and Upward |
| By John Charles Earle |
| I PASS the vale. I breast the steep. | |
| I bear the cross: the cross bears me. | |
| Light leads me on to light. I weep | |
| For joy at what I hope to see | |
| When, scaled at last the arduous height, | 5 |
| For every painful step I trod, | |
| I traverse worlds on worlds of light, | |
| And pierce some deeper depth of God. |
