the wicket portal

our choices narrow since the gate’s not wide

but yet is ample once you choose your way

all you must do is set apart your pride

 

not just in honour but in the best allied

arts you have studied since your first calm day

your choices narrow since the gate’s not wide

 

enough for coaches in which large folk ride

but humbler folk might still that path essay

all you must do is set apart your pride

 

from hope and anguish both yet never hide

your expectation of what we might say

your choices narrow since the gate’s not wide

 

yet little matters since we will not collide

with foolish beings who will not obey

all you must do is set apart your pride

 

and just be ready to confront the tide

that still treats us as objects of its play

your choices narrow since the gate’s not wide

all you must do is set apart your pride
