Excerpt from The Story of Buddhism
As some poor prisoner in dungeon pent
From year to weary year is racked by pain.
Longs for release and cannot find content,
But ever pines and chafes against his chain -
So do thou see in each succeeding birth
A prison-cell of untold misery,
Seek to shake off all chains that bind to earth
And from existence evermore be free!
