It's from a poem by Charles Kingsley, and goes

"Be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever;
do lovely things, not dream them, all day long;
and so make Life, and Death, and that For Ever,
One grand sweet song."

Never cared for the sentiment myself, but then the author was a Victorian.

The Victorians were nothing if not sentimental. But it's also the kind
of thing one would say to a small female child. Heavens save us from a
clever one! When I was in second grade, I organized all the kids in my
class to stop up the drains in the school, then turn on all the water to
see what would happen...... I was not a "good, sweet maid".....

Me neither! Helped most if the kids from the village school build a dam
across the water meadow and make a pond... The cows made a fuss when
their water vanished!
