The Set of the Sails

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

One ship sails east and another sails west, With the very same winds that blow; 'Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales, That tells us the way to go. Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate As we voyage along through life; 'Tis the set of a soul that decides its goal, And not the calm or the strife. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
