My soul is full of whispered song,-My blindness is my sight;The shadows that I feared so longAre full of life and light.

True worth is in being, not seeming- In doing, each day that goes by, Some little good, not in the dreaming Of great things to do by and by. For whatever men say in their blindness, And spite of the fancies of youth, There's nothing so kingly as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth.

Women and men in the crowd meet and mingle, Yet with itself every soul standeth single.

I sit where the leaves of the maple and the gnarled and knotted gum are circling and drifting around me.
