SONGS, LEGENDS, AND BALLADS.

Psyche won hopeless woe,
Reaching to take;
Wait till your lilies grow
Up from the lake.
 
Gather words patiently;
Harvest the deed;
Let the winged years fly.
Sifting the seed.

Judging by harmony,
Learning by strife;
Seeking in unity
Precept and life.

Seize the supernal—
Prometheus dies;
Take the external
On trust—and be wise.
