SPIRIT, by                    
First Line: Within the chamber of my soul
Last Line: Of this godlike voice within.
Subject(s): Conscience


Within the chamber of my soul
With a silence one scarce can hear
There is a voice that speaketh
The wisdom of sage and seer:
'Tis closer to me, than I am.

Closer yea, by far: --
From whence this restless visitant
That stirs my soul ajar,
That brings to life new beauty
And faith that naught can mar.

Oh! that my will be silent
And that my lips be still,
That I may harken to the word
Of this Godlike voice within.
