CHANNING! my Mentor whilst my thought was young, - ZaunköniG - 30.04.2007 CHANNING! my Mentor whilst my thought was young, And I the votary of fair liberty, — How hung I then upon thy glowing tongue, And thought of love and truth as one with thee! Thou wast the inspirer of a nobler life, When I with error waged unequal strife, And from its coils thy teaching set me free. Be ye, his followers, to his leading true, Nor privilege covet, nor the wider sway; But hold right onward in his loftier way, As best becomes, and is his rightful due. If learning's yours, — gifts God doth least esteem, — Beyond all gifts was his transcendent view; O realize his Pentecostal dream! |
