The Journey

---

Our journey had advanced;

Our feet were almost come

To that odd fork in Being’s road,

Eternity by term.

---

Our pace took sudden awe,

Our feet reluctant led.

Before were cities, but between,

The forest of the dead.

---

Retreat was out of hope, —

Behind, a sealed route,

Eternity’s white flag before,

And God at every gate.
