Explore "I Am Running Forth to Meet You" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I am running forth to meet you, O my Master, / For they tell me you are surely on the way; / Yes, they tell me you are coming back again / (While I run, while I run). / And I wish my feet were winged to speed on faster, / And I wish I might behold you here to-day, / Lord of men.
I am running, yet I walk beside my neighbour, / And I take the duties given me to do; / Yes, I take the daily duties as they fall / (While I run, while I run), / And my heart runs to my hand and helps the labour, / For I think this is the way that leads to you, / Lord of all.
