Ralph Waldo Emerson

Self Reliance

HENCEFORTH, please God, forever I forego
The yoke of men’s opinions. I will be
Light—hearted as a bird, and live with God.
I find him in the bottom of my heart,
I hear continually his voice therein.

The little needle always knows the North,
The little bird remembereth his note,
And this wise Seer within me never errs.
I never taught it what it teaches me;
I only follow, when I act aright.
