The soul-bird

```

O world-ignorance,

Although

You have shackled my feet,

I am free.

Although

You have chained my hands,

I am free.

Although

You have enslaved my body,

I am free.

I am free because I am not of the body.

I am free because I am not the body,

I am free because I am the soul-bird

That flies in Infinity-Sky.

I am the soul-child that dreams

On the Lap of the immortal King Supreme. ```
