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.
