XI
To W. R.
Thick is the darkness—
Sunward, O, sunward!
Rough is the highway—
Onward, still onward!
Sunward, O, sunward!
Rough is the highway—
Onward, still onward!
Dawn harbours surely
East of the shadows.
Facing us somewhere
Spread the sweet meadows.
East of the shadows.
Facing us somewhere
Spread the sweet meadows.
Upward and forward!
Time will restore us,
Light is above us,
Rest is before us.
Time will restore us,
Light is above us,
Rest is before us.
1876
