THE POET'S SIMPLE FAITH by VICTOR MARIE HUGO

First Line: YOU SAY, 'WHERE GOEST THOU?' I CANNOT TELL
Last Line: MY FUTURE IS NOT ONE OF MY CONCERNS.
Subject(s): FAITH; RELIGION; BELIEF; CREED; THEOLOGY;
You say, "Where goest Thou?" I cannot tell,
And still go on. But if the way be straight
I cannot go amiss: before me lies
Dawn and the day: the night behind me: that
Suffices me: I break the bounds: I see,
And nothing more; believe and nothing less.
My future is not one of my concerns.
