COMPENSATION, by                    
First Line: In the night of doubt and error
Last Line: A cloud that shades us in our need.
Subject(s): Despair; Life; Night; Bedtime


In the night of doubt and error
Life assumes a shape of terror,
Beside which death seems joy indeed;
But in the dawn of truth and faith
Despair becomes a helpless wraith—
A cloud that shades us in our need.
