Ye thorn, and jagged rock who blocks my way
Repentant sighs heard behind thy black wall
Open thine impervious path, ghosts away
To escape to love’s freedom, one and all
For once they were trapped within love’s remorse
A second chance they deserve at love and life
So quit thy play, open thine ashen doors
And offer them air, fruit of choices, rife
So they may wade in sweet the curling brine
Of the sea of liberty whose waters flock
Most sweet and cool to touch, in soul, divine
Open thine ashen doors, ye jagged rock
    So they may taste the juice of chances, sweet
    Free thy doors, ye rock shagg’d with dying ****
