    Let me live in my house by the side of the road,
    Where the race of men go by;
    They are good, they are bad; they are weak, they are strong,
    Wise, foolish,--so am I;
    Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat,
    Or hurl the cynic's ban?
    Let me live in my house by the side of the road,
    And be a friend to man.

The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride;
The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside;
The doorband strong enough from robbers to defend;
This door will open at a touch to welcome every friend.
