At this dark pass we part, our ways divide.
I shall not say that you remain behind,
But I go on, not back, and you will find
I am not like Lot's wife. You may decide
To walk this way with me and be my guide
Along this hilly path, and be resigned
To travel on with me. I have in mind
The starry heights I reached with one who died.
I never thought to tarry where the grime
Of muddy waters creeps to foul the earth.
Above on that high hill I know a place
Where melodies, with lilt of song and rhyme,
Intone sweet music I would hear. No dearth
Of joy is there to cloud a happy face.
