First Line: The foot speaks
Last Line: For comrades there behind.
Subject(s): Pioneers
The Foot speaks:
Into the void I go,
Stubbed and sore and blind,
Some trail unworn to tread,
Some bourne beyond to find.
The Hand speaks:
Into the vast I reach,
Through callused palm divined
Some groped-for good to grasp
For comrades there behind.
