Sundry Vocations

Many there are who toil, each one to prosper his species;
But it is given to few only to multiply man.
Many a seed is sown, but few bear fruit at the harvest,
For the majority still close in their elements hide.
But let one expand—'twill nurture a bountiful outcome,
Filling a living world with the creations of aye.
