A SONG OF THE ROAD by FRED G. BOWLES

First Line: I LIFT MY CAP TO BEAUTY
Last Line: THE SIMPLE ARE SO GREAT!
Subject(s): RELIGION; SIMPLICITY; THEOLOGY;

I lift my cap to Beauty,
I lift my cap to Love;
I bow before my Duty,
And know that God's above!
My heart through shining arches
Of leaf and blossom goes;
My soul, triumphant, marches
Through life to life's repose.
And I, through all this glory,
Nor know, nor fear my fate—
The great things are so simple,
The simple are so great!
