Noisy Is The Heart
Cool and pensive is the mind and swift the truth to find
Rash and heedless is the heart and swift the truth to blind
Sure and steady is the mind and swift the truth to stay
Lax and chancy is the heart and swift the truth to fray
Fair and honest is the mind and swift the truth to hold
Sly and fickle is the heart and swift the truth to fold
Strong and stalwart is the mind and swift the truth to keep
Wan and withered is the heart and swift the truth to sweep
Pure and wholesome is the mind and swift the truth to know
Base and baneful is the heart and swift the truth to throw
Calm and quiet is the mind and swift the truth to learn
Wild and noisy is the heart and swift the truth to spurn
