Travel straight and narrow paths ‘o man marked well by wisdoms’ compel
For one should never meander cross … treacherous vagabonds’ trails
Your loss is certain thereupon and the vagrants influence is certain more
Exchange of treasure is that they seek and the right to examine forgotten lore
Frustration rears its ugly head and through the lusts of selfishness – they rail
To have a right to challenge right and travel … treacherous vagabonds’ trails
By errant choice to beguile and lure they set varied traps to kill and steal
Hide the key of the treasure-desired turn neither left nor right and make no deal
For some will say HE is here or there and promise carnal exploit and tell wondrous tales
Beware of charm, of fame, of sex and gold offered upon … treacherous vagabonds’ trails
The gift of gifts and the flame within will set understanding firm to change the flint
The heart – of fear – of Lord – of grace – will see – the path to travel is to repent
