Miscellaneous Verses

The Waverer

Seven mountains, eight proud elephants, the Snake,

The Tortoise help to bear this Earth on high,

Yet is she troubled, yet her members shake!

Symbol of minds impure, perplexed and wry.

Though constant be the strife and claim, the goal

Escapes the sin-driven and the doubting soul.
