To every man there openeth a way, and ways, and a way

To every man there openeth a way, and ways, and a way

Representative Text

To every man there openeth a way, and ways, and a way,
And the high soul climbs the high way,
And the low soul gropes the low.
And in between, on the misty flats, the rest drift to and fro.
But to every man there openeth a high way and a low;
And every man decideth the way his soul shall go.
