40 Psyche won hopeless woe,
 * Reaching to take;

Wait till your lilies grow
 * Up from the lake.

Gather words patiently;
 * Harvest the deed;

Let the winged years fly.
 * Sifting the seed.

Judging by harmony,
 * Learning by strife;

Seeking in unity
 * Precept and life.

Seize the supernal—
 * Prometheus dies;

Take the external
 * On trust—and be wise.
