    Who wrote this poem
    Who wrote the following?
    Live for some earnest purpose,
    Live for some noble life
    Live for the hearts that love you
    Live that you conquer strife
    Live that the world may find you
    Honest and pure of thought
    Live though it frown upon you
    Live as a true man ought
    What does it matter brother
    If in the race of fame
    One gains a gilded carriage
    Another a poor man’s name?
    Life’s but a little season
    Not but a passing cloud
    One day it lives in sunshine
    The next the winding shroud
    Be ye then Jew or Gentile
    Ask not the other’s creed
    For if a flower be spotless
    Care ye where grow the seed?
    Live for one true purpose
    That honest hearts may rise
    Work through the noon of labour
    And when the evening dies
    There need be no forebodings
    Angels will close thine eyes..

    William John Warner, who (according to Wikipedia) was also know as Cheiro.
    The poem was printed in June 1897 of The Eastern Star, Indianapolis, IN, Vol. 10, p. 35. It can also be found in If We Only Knew, published in 1918 by Harvard College Library, The Bequest of Evert Jansen Wendell (Class of 1882).
