A milestone of the heart br Has the wind for a friend br Tis inspiration for the soul br That stays true to the end. br br A milestone of the heart br Is a road's lightened breeze br Tis the spirit of a friendship br Heard laughing in the trees. br br A milestone of the heart br May be but a disguise br Tis the spirit of its knowledge br And whispers of the wize. br br A milestone of the heart br May beat steady and slow br Tis the making of the wind br Where kindred spirits grow.
