Right is the seed within the sod 

That knows not why, but thro' the clod 

Uplifts itself to seek for God. 

Right is the impulse of the soul 
TJiat stirs thro' all the sense control 
Insisting on a nobler goal. 

Whatever helps you to the height 
Of your best self, and gives you light 
To see God's truths that thing is right.
