Lyics"Is this the way, my Father?"
"Tis, my child.
Thou must pass through this tangled, dreary wild,
If thou wouldst reach the city unde-filed,
Thy peaceful home a-bove."
"But enemies are round."
"Yes, child, I know,
Where least expecting, there thou'lt find a foe;
But victor thou shalt prove o'er all below,
On-ly seek strength a-bove."
