AD ASTRA: 59 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: I WILL AWAY, INTO THE LIGHT OF DAY!
Last Line: THE BRIGHTER FOR THE CLOUDS THAT HUNG SO NEAR.
Subject(s): LIFE;

'I will away, into the light of day!
For herald morn blows on the hills afar,
I will away, and somewhere will I pray
For strength and guidance, that I may not mar
The life that still is left—my evil Star
Hath set; another day dawns bright and clear,
The brighter for the clouds that hung so near.
