One Hundred Eighty-sixth Commencement

Lewis and Clark High SchoolSpokane, Washington

In Celebration of theGraduating Class of 2021

THE BUILDERSby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

ALL are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time;Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme.

Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best;And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest.

For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled;Our todays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build.

Truly shape and fashion these; Leave no yawning gaps between;Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen.

In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest careEach minute and unseen part; For the Gods see everywhere.

Let us do our work as well, Both the unseen and the seen;Make the house, where Gods may dwell, Beautiful, entire, and clean.

Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time,Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble as they seek to climb.

Build today, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base,And ascending and secure Shall tomorrow find its place.

Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eyeSees the world as one vast plain, And one boundless reach of sky.
