Analysis of I Will Be Worthy Of It

It
I may not reach the heights I seek,
 My untried strength may fail me;
Or, halfway up the mountain peak
 Fierce tempests may assail me.
But though that place I never gain,
Herein lies the comfort for my pain –
      I will be worthy of it.

I may not triumph in success,
 Despite my earnest labour;
I may not grasp results that bless
 The efforts of my neighbour.
But though my goal I never see,
This thought shall always dwell with me –
      I will be worthy of it.

The golden glory of Love’s light
 May never fall on my way;
My path may always lead through night,
 Like some deserted by-way.
But though life’s dearest joy I miss,
There lies a nameless strength in this –
      I will be worthy of it.
