SONG OF MY SOUL, by                    
First Line: As viking bold, I rode on the crest
Last Line: That scorns convention's putrid toll.
Subject(s): Roads; Vikings; Paths; Trails


As Viking bold, I rode on the crest;
The wrath of storms was added zest.

Today I own no ship that is fleet,
Yet try to make my life complete.

When clouds are low and hurriedly sail
I bare my breast to the stormy gale.

The lashing rain that falls on my face
Recalls the joys of thrilling race.

Today's conventions hamper my will,
But inner flames they never kill.

As gypsy maid must follow the trail,
I long ever onward to sail;

And face this life with mutinous soul
That scorns convention's putrid toll.
