COMPENSATION by RAY CLARKE ROSE

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.
