What kind of thoughts now, do you carry
______ your travels day by day
Are they bright and ______ visions,
Or neglected, gone astray?
Matters not ______ great in fancy,
Or what deeds of ______ you’ve wrought;
Man, though high may be his station,
Is no better than his thoughts.
______ your thoughts and hold them tightly,
Let ______ one an honor be;
Purge them, scourge them, ______ brightly,
Then in love set each one free.
