Splendor of the morning sunlight
Shines into my heart to-day,
Floods each cranny of my being
With new strength and spirit gay.
Let me use the golden hours
As they glide so swiftly by;
Fill them with a precious freight of
Truth and Love and Knowledge high.
And when evening comes and kindling
Stars my conduct seem to ask,
May I look aloft and tell them
I have finished well my task.

Felix Adler (August 13, 1851 – April 24, 1933) was a German-Jewish American professor of political and social ethics, rationalist, influential lecturer on euthanasia, religious leader, and social reformer who, in 1876, founded the Ethical Culture movement. Felix Adler was the son of Rabbi Samuel Adler of Temple Emanu-El, the most prominent reform synagogue in New York City.
