<h2><SPAN name="poem37"></SPAN>THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY</h2>
<p class="poetry">Man has explored all countries and all
lands,<br/>
And made his own the secrets of each clime.<br/>
Now, ere the world has fully reached its prime,<br/>
The oval earth lies compassed with steel bands,<br/>
The seas are slaves to ships that touch all strands,<br/>
And even the haughty elements, sublime<br/>
And bold, yield him their secrets for all time,<br/>
And speed like lackeys forth at his commands.</p>
<p class="poetry">Still, though he search from shore to distant
shore,<br/>
And no strange realms, no unlocated plains<br/>
Are left for his attainment and control,<br/>
Yet is there one more kingdom to explore.<br/>
Go, know thyself, O man! there yet remains<br/>
The undiscovered country of thy soul!</p>
