Follow Thou Me

A desert, a shadeless desert; 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 !
