SANDY STAR: 4. THE WAY, by WILLIAM STANLEY BRAITHWAITE Poet's Biography
First Line: He could not tell the way he came
Last Line: The dark's at his door.
Subject(s): Mystery
First Line: He could not tell the way he came
Last Line: The dark's at his door.
Subject(s): Mystery
He could not tell the way he came,
Because his chart was lost:
Yet all his way was paved with flame
From the bourne he crossed.
He did not know the way to go,
Because he had no map:
He followed where the winds blow, —
And the April sap.
He never knew upon his brow
The secret that he bore, —
And laughs away the mystery now
The dark's at his door.
