First Line: O comrade sun, that day by day
Last Line: Of life, one hovering shade the less?
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Memory; Wandering & Wanderers
O-COMRADE Sun, that day by day
Dost weave a shadow on my way,
Lest, in the luxury of light,
My soul forget the neighboring night: --
Wilt thou whene'er, my journey done,
Thou wanderest our path upon,
Bear in thy beams a memory
Of one who walked the world with thee,
Or mourn, amid the lavishness
Of Life, one hovering shade the less?
