Last Line: "and could I further ""no""?"
Subject(s): Climbing


He showed me Heights I never saw-
"Would'st Climb-" He said?
I said, "Not so"-
"With me-" He said-With me?"

He showed me secrets-Morning's Nest-
The Rope the Nights were put across-
And now, "Would'st have me for a Guest?"
I could not find my Yes -

And then, He brake His life-And lo,
A light, for me, did solemn glow,
The larger, as my face withdrew-
And could I further "No"?
