That the soul at will could easily 20
From its fleshy sheath unawares,
Fleety as we wander in dream.
Softly as from buds the roses bloom,
Or as lightly as a golden beam
Fits in and out a darkened room.
Then float above this earth world.

With the spirits wings unfurled,
Wandering cs the impulse led

Couldn't you tell where first would go,
And steal upon whom anawaresi
Swiftly as moonlight creeps on the tide,
Lightly as perfume floats thro' the cir,

Kissing away all traces of care.
Then float above this earth worl1i
Perhaps: cannot know nor say;
When round yol my spirit furled,
