The Possible You Look here, my son, and a le.:;son gain From the ripening seed of the humble grain. It ' s just hke you. How wonderfully it grew ! Ere long its every cell will contain The rosy cheek, the brawn, and the brain Of the boy and the man in life ' s campaign That ' s ever new. Yourself, like the seed of the fruitful grain, Shall be to the world a growing gain, A bounteous revenue, For the many and not for the few. With others of similar fibre and grain The ranks of men you are to sustain On a higher and ever higher plane, Yet none like you. From the little seed of the humble grain, That to copy another will disdain. Take now this cue : I ' m not like you. Like a different strand in rope or skein, My separate nature will I maintain, And scorning the echo, the repeat, and refrain, Myself with myself imbue. But to look alone at the lowly grain, It would be foolish and almost profane, For a type of the possible Y ' ou. How wonderfully you grew ! And soon the saplings along the lane. Between the fields of golden grain, Their marveling necks and heads shall crane To the lofty view. The sturdiest oak to the golden grain. To the leafy choir along the lane. When the day is due. Shall bid adieu. To furrow the ocean ' s shifting plain, Old Neptune ' s mountains to cleave in twain Or to dance on the rivers meandering lane, Whence the tide withdrew. Where the billows come rushing dow n amain, Far away from the native field and lane, That oak shall be you. Part ship, part canoe. And the captain ' s part and the crew ' s pertain Likewise to you. ' Twould be in vain To shun the toil, the labor, and strain, And the storm to eschew. 23
