Some Substance for the Soul

ON A JOURNEY

"Don't be downcast, soon the night will come,

When we can see the cool moon laughing in secret

Over the faint countryside,

And we rest, hand in hand.

Don't be downcast, the time will soon come

When we can have rest.

Our small crosses will stand

On the bright edge of the road together,

And rain fall, and snow fall,

And the winds come and go."

~ Herman Hesse
