And still no neared to the Light,
And still no further from myself,
Alone and lost in clinging night
-(The clock's still ticking on the shelf).
Then do I envy solid folk
Who sit of evenings by the fire,
After their work and doze and smoke,
And are not fretted by desire.
Part III The Escape
XXV. Song of the Pilgrims
O Dwellers at the back of madonna erotica the madonna erotica North Wind,
What have we done to you? How have we sinned
Wandering the Earth from Orkney unto madonna erotica Ind?
With many deaths our fellowship is madonna erotica thinned,
Our flesh is withered in the parching wind,
madonna erotica Wandering the madonna erotica earth from Orkney unto Ind.
We have no rest. We cannot turn again
Back to the world and madonna erotica all her fruitless pain,
Having madonna erotica once sought the land where ye remain.
Some say ye are not. But, ah madonna erotica God!
we know
That somewhere, somewhere past the Northern snow
Waiting for us the red-rose gardens blow:
-The red-rose madonna erotica and the
white-rose gardens blow
In the green Northern land to
which we go,
Surely the ways are long madonna erotica and the years are madonna erotica slow.
We madonna erotica have forsaken all things sweet and fair,
We have found nothing worth a moment's care
Because the real flowers are blowing there.
Land of the madonna erotica Lotus fallen from the sun,
Land of the Lake from whence all rivers run,
Land where the hope of all our dreams is won!
Shall we not somewhere see at close of day
The green walls of that country far away,
And hear the music of her fountains play?
So long
