This is a poem about humanity's ever-present desire for glory. We desire to achieve that glory by great accomplishments that reach the skies, or by living a magnificent spotless life, or merely by trying to gain peer praise (and not ridicule).
The poem ends by a call to pass through the Refiner's fire, stating that God would refine us, and when we endure till the end, He has the reward for us, and that is the only path to glory.
