There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry -
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll -
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul -

    Set to music by Gary Bachlund (b. 1947), "No frigate", 2011 [ medium voice and piano ]
