MARCH on, my soul, nor like a laggard stay! March swiftly on. Yet err not from the way Where all the nobly wise of old have trod, -- The path of faith, made by the sons of God. Follow the marks that they have set beside The narrow, cloud-swept track, to be thy guide: Follow, and honour what the past has gained, And forward still, that more may be attained. Something to learn, and something to forget: Hold fast the good, and seek the better yet: Press on, and prove the pilgrim-hope of youth: The Creeds are milestones on the road to Truth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FONTAINEBLEAU (AUTUMN) by SARA TEASDALE THE WAY TO ARCADY by HENRY CUYLER BUNNER PARTED by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR ON THE DEATH OF JOSEPH RODMAN DRAKE by FITZ-GREENE HALLECK THE REVEILLE by FRANCIS BRET HARTE THE HOUSE OF LIFE: 34.
