- To the Truth and the Way I Must Live
-
- I think that I shall never see, 'tis true,
- A Man so curious or strange as I.
- Not in the mighty ocean, white and blue,
- Not on the land, nor in the empty sky.
- 'Tis not conceit nor arrogance of class
- Which causes me to turn my head toward
- The image of myself in truthful glass.
- I am a Man: of Thought, and Deed, and Word.
- Is that not cause enough to move my pen?
- To put down verse of self and mind and soul?
- A noble creature I, yes, I, a Man,
- Creation stirs and poets speak it all.
- This is not gall, not pride within my tone.
- The praise is His, yes, for my God alone.
