Life’s Byways



Two paths go up the hill of life,
     The path of wrong, the path of right;
One path is strewn with toil and strife,
     The other strewn with flowers bright.

Inviting looks the path of wrong,
     More toilsome looks the path of right;
One sends a wave of ribald song,
     The other less of mirth and light.

But ‘tis the goal, and not the road
     The pilgrim needs must keep in view;
The path that lures the highest load
     Is not the easiest to pursue.
