The Ways

To every man there openeth

A Way, and Ways, and a Way,

And the High Soul gropes the High Way,

And the Low Soul gropes the Low,

And in between, on the misty flats,

The rest drift to and fro.

But to every man there openeth

A High Way, and a Low.

And every man decideth

The Way his soul shall go.

-John Oxenham, 1861-1941
