THE BALLAD OF THE QUEST
"Some day," I said, "before Life is over, I will shut my house door, and will be a rover."
Under the sky where the great stars roll, I will search for my faith, and search for my soul.
I have fared without them this many a day Through the market-place of the world's high-way.
The truth I gave in exchange for a lie, And I bartered my dreams to a passer-by.
I have met Delilah,--her enchantments I know As the man of strength knew them ages ago.
Fool's gold and fool's joy have been my reaping, And my heart has nothing that's worth the keeping.
But the world is wide and the world is free, And the things I have lost may come back to me.
I will follow the path of the bird that flies, And look for a woman with honest eyes.
If I travel hard, and travel alone, I may overtake Peace, and make it my own.
Only the Sun and the Moon's sweet light Shall mark my day, or measure my night.
