Seek not a bride in glitter’s glow,
Where shallow riches gleam;
Do not wed for gain or gold -
Their promise is a dream.
For if you choose a union planned,
Your soul you stand to lose;
And chasing what is not your own,
You pay in time you bruise.
Don’t run toward the roar of fame,
Nor play another’s part;
No applause is worth betraying
Peace within your heart.
So many kindly souls there are,
So many hearts sincere -
Choose the light of truth and goodness,
Where beginnings shine, not fear.
Guard the love that you have found —
Your talisman, your thread;
Trust not what the world may show,
But what is true instead.
