Soul and Body

Since times antique the mind of man In complex problems is involved: What is the source of clay-born man And how the soul has been evolved?

Pain, anguish, glee and rapture sweet Are spiritual states that man must face: What is of much worth, cup or wine, Is knotty point you wish to trace?

What binds the words and their import, What links the body and the soul? It wears the cloak of its own ash Just like the burnt refuse of coal.
