THE END OF THE WAY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Much have I seen by the winding way
Last Line: Jesu, I am tired.
Subject(s): Beauty; Christianity; Love - Complaints


MUCH have I seen by the winding way;
And much have I desired.
What is the end of it all to-day?—
Jesu, I am tired!

I met with Love amid the dew;
At noon with Shame and Wrath;—
At sunset those three gibbets threw
Their shadows on my path.

No beauty can I bear to see.
Too much have I desired.
Here is a wayside Calvary!
Jesu, I am tired.
