THE COMMON WAY

I have no wealth, but God has given me The power to see | Joy sitting cross-legged on the top of things, | Holding Life’s stings A-dangling before his laughing face. I have no wealth, but. God has held apart Doors te my hcart, So that a thousand visions creep my way. Linger, and stay To make a garden of a desert place. I have no wealth, but mine the precious 0 | The sus rays hold, The silver of the moon, the jewelled stars, : And nothing bars My claim to public treasury of the skies. I have uo wealth, but every blade of: grass That feels me pass Has for a moment been @ home to me, : Each sheltering tree A refuge where Desire, fainting, dies. I have no wealth, but, standing on the. | sands | With outstretched hands, Eecfore me all the ocean’s mighty space, ' Wind on my face, My soul cries out, Joy answers the cail. | So, as I walk throughout life’s little day The common war. Into the face of morn and eve I fling idly soul to sing. 17 nothing want-methinks love gives me

all.
