Excerpt from The Soul's Quest: And Other Poems

As I have wandered thro' the fields of life Gay, happy fields, bright with the sun and sky Flower after ¿ower Has bloomed beside my path And I have gathered them, a long-loved handful, Which I offer now To the unpitying, cruel-laughing world. And some are gay, Sparkling with joy and the bright sun of hope And some are sad, Dipped in the crimson of the setting sun, Or blasted by the cold of winter winds But all the roots Are down, far down, within the spirit's depths, Amid the voiceless shadows of the soul, And each has sprung From the warm life-blood throbbing in my heart.
