Who treads tho unlried path, evades

His mind expansive and his pulsing

Resolving problems not of selfish gain;
This man will never cerviic bond his

The future holds no terrors for his
soul;
No avarice collects its robber toll;
No social caste; no parties, clubs nor
creeds
To multiply his cares, increase his

With wants but few, no Pioneer will
