THE SECRET PLACE, by                    
First Line: Each soul has its own secret place
Last Line: Of all good company.
Alternate Author Name(s): Oxenham, John
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


Each soul has its own secret place,
Where none may enter in,
Save it and God, -- to them alone
What goeth on therein is known, --
To it and God alone.

And well for it if God be there,
And in supreme control;
For every deed comes of a seed,
And lonely seed may evil breed
In any lonely soul.

But none, except of his own will,
Need ever lonely be;
If he but quest, his Royal Guest
Will quick provide him with the best
Of all good Company.
