Poem by Madison Julius Cawein

The Soul

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,
Haunted of Love and Sin,
Where Death stands knocking at the gate
To let him in.

1. Dawn in the Alleghanies
2. Dithyrambics
3. The Festival of the Aisne
4. Solstice
5. The Moon Spirit
