| 1552. The Soul |
| | | By Madison Cawein |
| |
| |
| AN heritage of hopes and fears | |
| And dreams and memory, | |
| And vices of ten thousand years | |
| God gives to thee. | |
| |
| A house of clay, the home of Fate, | 5 |
| Haunted of Love and Sin, | |
| Where Death stands knocking at the gate | |
| To let him in. | |
