There Are Who Ask Not If Thine Eye
Be On Them; Who, In Love And Truth,
Where No Misgiving Is, Rely

And Happy Will Our Nature Be,
When Love Is An Unerring Light,

Live In The Spirit Of This Creed;
Yet Seek Thy Firm Support, According To Their Need.

  Tips / Guidelines  
  The Above Stanza Has Been Taken From The Poem 'Ode To Duty' Written By William Wordsworth, In Which Duty's Importance Has Been Described. Duty Is The Voice Of God And It Leads Everybody To The Right Path. It Has A Check On The Person Who Goes Wayward In His Doings. The Poet Wants To Convey That There Are Only A Few People Who Follow The Right Path Without Duty's Guidance But There Are Some Who Must Take Their Duty Seriously. Even The Seasons, The Sky, The Planets And The Stars Do Their Duty, And So They Stay Unharmed In Their Respective Orbits.
