The Set of the Sails

ONE ship drives east and the other drives west, By the very same wind that blows; 'Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales, That shows which way she goes.
Like the gates of the sea are the waves of fate, As we journey along through life; 'Tis the set of the soul that determines the goal, And not the storm nor the strife.
