INTO THE HEART OF LIFE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I am feeling my way into the heart of life
Last Line: Soon or late!
Subject(s): Fate; Life; Destiny


I AM feeling my way into the heart of Life,
And the way is long, and the years now left are few;
And the sign-posts point to pain and doubt and strife, --
And dream, and dew.

High to-day is low to-morrow, and dark
Turns shining weather, the while I trudge along;
Crash of elements stuns me, suddenly, hark, --
Sounds a song!

Help me, comrade, even as I help you,
Both of us faring on to the selfsame Fate;
God be with us, ours be the dream and dew, --
Soon or late!
