THE MIND
The mind has a thousand secret
shrines
Hung at the stairway of the
heart,
At every turn we seek to find
A thought to join our coun
ter-part —
Os thought, yet beyond the el
bowed way
Os every isle a new light
burn,
Along the lucid, placid way.
New wonders come for each
to learn.
Yet, without thought of sweet- j
ness lost
We stumble on too blind to
care,
And never stop to count the
cost,
Or with a friend good for- )
tune share. :
The mind has a thousand
shrines to glow
If no darkness round the en
trance grow!
