Bread for his body and his soul he sought,

Raiment to cloak him from the cold he bought

Of ruthless nature, toiling brain and hand;

Past all the gates of death his race he brought.

First tottering from the cave, his primal lair;

Babes in the world’s wood wandering, to and fro,

To touch man’s sordid heart, and lift his care.
