The Journey’s End
Thy prayer is granted; thou hast joined the Choir Invisible; the Choir whose music makes Life’s discords grow to harmonies, and takes Us unawares with sounds that are as fire And light and melody in one. We tire Of zveary noon and night, of dawn that breaks Only to bring again the cares, the aches, The meannesses that drag us io the mire.
When 10l amid life’s din zve catch thy clear Large utterance from the lucid upper air, Bidding us zvipe azvay the miry stain, And scale the stainless stars, and have no fear Save the one dread of forfeiting our share In the deep joy that follozvs noble pain. —By J. A. Noble.
