First Line: Evening falls: to numbered night
Last Line: My spidery bridge sways over the falls.
Alternate Author Name(s): Blunden, Edmund


EVENING falls: to numbered night
Day succeeds; and dark and light
I journey peering, praying for
The promised city's golden door.

Mountains barricade my track,
Cataracts shout their sharp "Go back!"
Up sheer cliffs my hacked path crawls,
My spidery bridge sways over the falls.
