OUT OF DARKNESS INTO LIGHT.
WE have travelled through the darkness,
Thou and I, for many days
Till we wondered at the sunshine,
When at length we felt its rays.
Chill and lonely was the pathway,
Only lighted by the snow,
With the cutting east wind only
To declare how we should go.
On our right, the frozen river,
Where the drowned lay asleep
On our left, the rocky mountain,
So precipitously steep
All around the gloomy shadows
Of the failures gone before
While the leafless branches whispered,
We should do no less, no more.
