To get ahead — get a head ! Sophomore Class Poem ASPIRATIONS. In every life there looms a distant goal, To which ambition spurs and leads man on; An intuition living in the soul, That never dies till hope and life are gone. No man so low but has before his sight A pinnacle to which his life aspires; No man so great, but, having gained the height, Is striving still for pinnacles yet higher. In some ' tis but the ravenous clutch of wealth, Aspiring to the fervent flight of fame; A hoarding for a greedy, grasping self; A coveting to conquer and to gain. In other men such zeal for knowledge burns, Such reaching of the mind for earth ' s desire: The intellect, unsated, ever yearns, When once inflamed by learning ' s feverish fire. Again we see a selfish pride of face, A striving after beauty ' s luring art; To conquer by a subtle, smiling grace; To win, but not to give in turn, a heart. Some seek for idle pleasure, sensuous joy, To feed the cravings of a carnal lust; They grasp as for a glittering, fleeting toy That palls too soon and drags them to the dust. These all are low and vain, as earth is vain, And can not satisfy the greed-bound slave; Ambition centered on a selfish gain Is low and leads no higher than the grave. Ambition, with its wild, perpetual flame, Is but an instinct carrying its doom; And if directed with a sacred aim, Leads on to light; perverted, leads to gloom.
