Here's to the task we love, that task may be, Whatever To till the soil, in the shop to toil, To sail o'er the chartless sea. Here's to the task we love, Wherever it lead our feet, Through stress and strife or the simple life, For still are its victories sweet. And we never tire, if our hearts’ desire Flame in its dross-consuming fire. Here's to the task we love, The task God set us to do. And we shall not pale nor faint nor quail, And for us there's no such word as fail. If we follow, with purpose true, ‘The creed He writes, and the star He lights ‘To guide our soul to the distant heights. —Boston Cooking School Magazine. ON HOG'SBACK REEF.
