Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEFG AH DIJK AI DGLM AN DOPQ

You have lived long and learned the secret of life O SeerA
Tell me what are the best three things to seekB
The best three things for a man to seek on earthC
-
The best three things for a man to seek O Son are theseD
Reverence for that great Source from whence he cameE
Work for the world wherein he finds himselfF
And knowledge of the Realm toward which he goesG
-
What are the best three things to love on earth O SeerA
What are the best three things for a man to loveH
-
The best three things for a man to love O Son are theseD
Labour which keeps his forces all in actionI
A home wherein no evil thing may enterJ
And a loving woman with God in her heartK
-
What are the three great sins to shun O SeerA
What are the three great sins for a man to shunI
-
The three great sins for a man to shun O Son are theseD
A thought which soils the heart from whence it goesG
An action that can harm a living thingL
And undeveloped energies of mindM
-
What are the worst three things to fear O SeerA
What are the worst three things for a man to fearN
-
The worst three things for man to fear O Son are theseD
Doubt and suspicion in a young child's eyesO
Accusing shame upon a woman's faceP
And in himself no consciousness of GodQ
