The Chariot of the Flesh

THE CHARIOT OF THE FLESH
HEDLEY PEEK
Look on the Spirit as the rider! take
The Body for the chariot, and the Will
As charioteer! regard the mind as reins.
The senses as the steeds; and things of sense
The ways they trample on....
For whoso rides this chariot of the flesh,
The reins of mind well grasped, the charioteer
Faithful and firm--comes to his journey's end.
The Secret of Death .
