XXIV
[Light foot and tight foot]
Light foot and tight foot
And green grass spread,
Early in the morning—
But hope is on ahead.
And green grass spread,
Early in the morning—
But hope is on ahead.
Stout foot and proud foot
And gray dust spread,
Early in the evening—
And hope lies dead.
And gray dust spread,
Early in the evening—
And hope lies dead.
Long life and short life,
The last word said,
Early in the evening
There lies the bed.
The last word said,
Early in the evening
There lies the bed.
320
Brief day and bright day
And sunset red,
Early in the evening
The stars are overhead.
And sunset red,
Early in the evening
The stars are overhead.
