A FRIEND TO MAN

FRIEND TO MAN
There hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the place of their self-content
There souls like stars that dwell apart
In a fellowless armament;
There pioneer souls that blaze path
Where highways never ran;
Let me live in a house by the side of the road,
And be friend to man.
Let live in a house by the side of the road
Where the race of men go by
The that good, the that are bad
AS good and as bad T.
Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat
Or hurl the cynics ban?
Let live in a house by the side of the road,
And be a friend man.

By the side of the highway of life

And the that faint with the strife;

And be a friend man.
