TIS THE STE OF THE SAIL
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX 1916

"BUT TO EVERY MAN THERE OPENETH
AHIGH WAY AND A LOW
AND EVERY MID DECIDETH
THE WAY HIS SOUL SHALL GO

ONE SHIP SAIL EAST
ANOTHER SAILS WEST
BY THE SELF SAME WINDS THAT BLOW
TIS THE SET OF THE SAILS
AND NOT THE GALES
THAT TELLS THE WAY WE GO
LIKE THE WINDS OF THE SEA
ARE THE WAVES OF TIME
AS WE JOURNEY ALONG THROUGH LIFE
TIS THE SET OF THE SOUL
THAT DETERMINES THE GOAL
AND NOT THE CALM OR THE STRIFE
