PROUD , mortal man, that thinkest art awake,But still in sleep art dreaming daily on;Nor mov'st thyself to holy treasures take,Nor bid'st mesmeric slumber to be gone, Thou dost profess to be god of life,And goest forth to deeds in sight of all;With sweat of face thou pantest in the strife,Not knowing that thy pride must have a fall.

Poem

To the Spirit

Great Spirit, hear me as I rove Through field or forest, woods or grove, Through wind encircling woods of woe, Or flee from an approaching foe: Great Spirit, help me as I rove, To conquer wickedness with Love.
