I feared to take the way, it seemed to be
Too dark without a guide or crossroad sign.
I hesitated long. Then wondrously
A light broke forth in darkest solitude,
Thrown by a stream of golden gratitude;
And there I saw wide arms awaiting me,
Gently persuasive, comforting, divine,
Pointing the pathway I had prayed to see.
