THE TASK

Phil. iii. 7

          To learn, and yet to learn, whilst life goes by,
               So pass the student's days;
          And thus be great, and do great things, and die,
               And lie embalmed with praise.
          
          My work is but to lose and to forget,
               Thus small, despised to be;
          All to unlearn - this task before me set;
               Unlearn all else but Thee.

G. T. S.
