SONGS OF THE SOUL

THE EVER-TRODDEN PATH

This ever-trodden pathWhere travelers all of earthDo walk in joyous hasteOr slothful sorrow’s stateI walk and wonder,—In truth or blunder.The path is cleftTo right and left,In front, behind;—The diverse ways I find,Bewildered am I—As baffling mazes do they lie;  Still, they say  There’s a royal wayFor all—the right, the error-wed,—  ’Tis the sub-way path of ruby red  Which far beneath lies hid  For eager eyes to lead  Straight on the feetTo where all paths do meet.
