THE SOUL, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: An heritage of hopes and fears
Last Line: To let him in.


AN heritage of hopes and fears
And dreams and memory,
And vices of ten thousand years
God gives to thee.

A house of clay, the home of Fate,
Haunted of Love and Sin,
Where Death stands knocking at the gate
To let him in.
