(For Aline)
Because the road was steep and long / And through the dark and lonely land, / God set upon my lips a song / And put a lantern in my hand.
Through miles on weary miles of night / That stretch relentless in my way / My lantern burns serene and white, / An unexhausted cup of day.
O golden lights and lights like wine, / How dim your boasted splendours are. / Behold this little lamp of mine; / It is more starlike than a star!
