Narrow Road

I’ve travelled gladly down a narrow road Which leads to peace and quiet, though I swear That I have also borne a large and heavy load Whose crown of lead was hard indeed to wear. When I emerged, at last, from deep within The deadly forest, suddenly I saw That I had reached a place where I had been When I had not yet learned my reason’s flaw. I sat in wonder as I judged how fast My life had trickled by beneath the sun, But then I chased away and scorned the past And felt content about the trip on which I’d gone.
