First Line: Borne by a power resistless and unseen
Last Line: When lo, the light!
Subject(s): Life; Light
BORNE by a Power resistless and unseen
We know not whither,
We look out through the gloom with troubled mien.
How came we hither?
Darkness before and after. Blank, dim walls
On either side,
Against which our dull vision beats and falls,
Met and defied.
Shrouded in mystery that leaves no room
To guess aright,
We rush, uncertain, to a certain doom.—
When lo, the light!
