Leave No Traces Fair
Leave no traces fair,
Nor flowers lily white,
No notes, nor wisps of hair,
Nor passions of the night.
Cling not to what you know,
Nor proud, nor humble be-
Let honors be bestowed
On ranks of vanity.
Seek freedom's inner essence
And light that shines in truth-
For fame conceals senescence
That clips the wings of youth.
