I WILL GO FAR AWAY

I will go far away, though quite where I can’t tell.

I fear no harm, ill-will, nor hope to fare too well.

Since we have raised our cross, each our cross let us bear.

I’ve had my pause and no more effort will I spare.

I will go far, unsure if to the trail I’ll keep.

Night. Many by the wayside, and many fast asleep.

I will go, on the firmly bolted gate to pound.

And if by night, then blindly trust and pace the ground!
