THE SECRET PLACE by WILLIAM ARTHUR DUNKERLEY

First Line: EACH SOUL HAS ITS OWN SECRET PLACE
Last Line: OF ALL GOOD COMPANY.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;

Each soul has its own secret place,
Where none may enter in,
Save it and God, -- to them alone
What goeth on therein is known, --
To it and God alone.

And well for it if God be there,
And in supreme control;
For every deed comes of a seed,
And lonely seed may evil breed
In any lonely soul.

But none, except of his own will,
Need ever lonely be;
If he but quest, his Royal Guest
Will quick provide him with the best
Of all good Company.
