The two temples

Title: The two temples
extracted text: THE TWO TEMPLES A Builder builded a temple, He wrought with care and skill, Pillars and groins and arches Were fashioned to meet his will. And men said, when they saw its beauty, "It shall never know decay; “Great is thy will, oh builder, “Thy fame shall endure for aye.” A teacher builded a temple, She wrought with skill and care, Forming each pillar with patience, Laying each stone with care. None saw the unceasing effort None knew of the marvelous plan; For the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone is the builder's temple, Crumbled into the dust Pillars and groins and arches Food for consuming rust But the temple the teacher builded Shall endure while the ages roll: For that beautiful unseen temple Was a child's immortal soul.
