“O may I join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence; live
In pulses stirred to generosity,
In deeds of daring rectitude…”

Context: O may I join the choir invisible <br/> Of those immortal dead who live again <br/> In minds made better by their presence; live <br/> In pulses stirred to generosity, <br/> In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn <br/> For miserable aims that end with self, <br/> In thoughts sublime that pierce the night like stars, <br/> And with their mild persistence urge men's search <br/> To vaster issues.
Context: O may I join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence; live
In pulses stirred to generosity,
In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn
For miserable aims that end with self,
In thoughts sublime that pierce the night like stars,
And with their mild persistence urge men's search
To vaster issues.
