< < < Father, I bring thee not myself, —
Few get enough, — enough is one > > >

Farewell

Tie the strings to my life, my Lord,

   Then I am ready to go!

Just a look at the horses —

   Rapid! That will do!

Put me in on the firmest side,

   So I shall never fall;

For we must ride to the Judgment,

   And it’s partly down hill.

But never I mind the bridges,

   And never I mind the sea;

Held fast in everlasting race

   By my own choice and thee.

Good-by to the life I used to live,

   And the world I used to know;

And kiss the hills for me, just once;

   Now I am ready to go!


< < < Father, I bring thee not myself, —
Few get enough, — enough is one > > >
