We men of Earth have here the stuff <br />Of Paradise - we have enough! <br />We need no other stones to build <br />The Temple of the Unfulfilled - <br />No other ivory for the doors - <br />No other marble for the floors - <br />No other cedar for the beam <br />And dome of man's immortal dream. <br /> <br />Here on the paths of every-day - <br />Here on the common human way <br />Is all the stuff the gods would take <br />To build a Heaven, to mold and make <br />New Edens. Ours is the stuff sublime <br />To build Eternity in time!<br /><br />Edwin Markham<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/earth-is-enough/
