If I can bear your love like a lamp before me, When I go down the long steep Road of Darkness, I shall not fear the everlasting shadows, Nor cry in terror. If I can find out God, then I shall find Him, If none can find Him, then I shall sleep soundly, Knowing how well on earth your love sufficed me, A lamp in darkness. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...POOR DEVIL! by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET A BANJO SONG by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON TO NANNETTE FALK-AUERBACH by SIDNEY LANIER STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 1.
