"The world to us has been a home;

Wherever knowledge could be sought,
Through differing climes we've loved to roam,
And every shade of feeling caught,
From minds whose varied fount supply

The food of our philosophy.

From every spot some prize we bore,
From every harvest gleaned an ear."

Hafiz.

Lull'd in the countless chambers of the brain,
Our thoughts are link'd by many a hidden chain.
Awake but one, and, lo! what myriads rise!
Each stamps its image as the other flies.
Hail, MEMORY, hail! thy universal reign

Guards the least link of Being's glorious chain."

Rogers.
