How Wilt Thou Go?
When all thy days are done, and Life's great door,
Which let thee in, shall open wide once more
To let thee out; thou wanderer to and fro,
With what equipment wilt thou rise and go?
Wilt say farewell to earth with whimpering cries,
And clinging hands, and backward-turning eyes?
Or wilt thou pass as pleased as any child
That fears no evil though the night is wild,
But singing goes across the darkened halls,
With swift obedience when his father calls?
When all thy days are done, and Life's great door,
Which let thee in, shall open wide once more
To let thee out; thou wanderer to and fro,
With what equipment wilt thou rise and go?
Wilt say farewell to earth with whimpering cries,
And clinging hands, and backward-turning eyes?
Or wilt thou pass as pleased as any child
That fears no evil though the night is wild,
But singing goes across the darkened halls,
With swift obedience when his father calls?
Which let thee in, shall open wide once more
To let thee out; thou wanderer to and fro,
With what equipment wilt thou rise and go?
Wilt say farewell to earth with whimpering cries,
And clinging hands, and backward-turning eyes?
Or wilt thou pass as pleased as any child
That fears no evil though the night is wild,
But singing goes across the darkened halls,
With swift obedience when his father calls?
When all thy days are done, and Life's great door,
Which let thee in, shall open wide once more
To let thee out; thou wanderer to and fro,
With what equipment wilt thou rise and go?
Wilt say farewell to earth with whimpering cries,
And clinging hands, and backward-turning eyes?
Or wilt thou pass as pleased as any child
That fears no evil though the night is wild,
But singing goes across the darkened halls,
With swift obedience when his father calls?
