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