SONGS OF THE SOUL

THE HUMAN MIND

I love to roam alone, unseen,In cities of the human mind,Untrodden by the crooked thoughts  Vile-born,—unkind.
Incognito I wish to wander,To living lanes my thoughts surrenderWith simple wish to know and learnThe straight nice paths and danger turns.
I wish to roam in mazy lanesOf dark and brighter thoughts,With love to all and harm to none,With better message fraught.
I’d love to broaden narrow lanesOf selfish crooked thoughtsWith my love’s true-building brainThat I’ve within me got.
