Perseverance

We must not hope to be mowers,
And to gather the ripe gold ears,
Unless we have first been sowers
And watered the furrows with tears.

It is not just as we take it,
This mystical World of ours,
Lifes field will yield as we make it
A harvest of thorns or of flowers.
--Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , "Perseverance"
