SONGS OF THE SOUL
Yes, I know those old dame rocksWho rocked me on their stony lapsWhen I a tiny baby treeDid chafe to run with winds so free.
The green-attired friends I know,With rose and lily buds aglow;I once adorned a kingly breast,Lost life, returned to mother dust.
I know the ruby redbreast dear,My blood in it once flowed so clear;I smiled in diamonds, gleaming bright,I danced in Roentgen rays of light.
A ray of friendship from my heartIn diamond and ruby joy did start,The bright ones smiled, the ruby weptTo meet their long-lost friend at last.
The soul of gold in yellow gown,The soul of silver whitely shone,—Bestowed on me maternal smilesThat told they knew me long erewhile.
