:: Oh, wildly the storm doth sweep ! | |||
And I bury my unprotected head | |||
:: In the pitiless sand and weep. | |||
The wild winds sweep around me, | |||
:: Moaning, in hopeless song : | |||
“ ’Tis nothing but sandy desert | |||
:: Forever and ever on. | |||
“ No shady land of peace | |||
:: Will gladden your heavy eye. | |||
Oh, give the hopeless journey o’er | |||
:: Rise not—lie here and die.” | |||
But a ridge o’er the sandy desert– | |||
:: A ''track'', o’er the dusty plain, | |||
Sends hope to my fainting heart, | |||
:: And I start on my journey again | |||
For I know that One before me | |||
:: Hath travelled the desert o’er ; | |||
Thank God ! for that print in the sand, | |||
''Where a foot hath trod before !'' | |||
