Shadow
Shadow walk with me in desert
Walkst thou in woe and pain
World for us was world of sorrow
It was lasting tale of pain
Songs of ocean, songs of Morrow
In Eden we will regain
Silent friend till death thou singth
Songs of wisdom thou forever
With Thee I have hopes of mine
Part from me I wish thou never
Larks are happy, gulls are happy
Happier are the nights of moon
Rose is happy, myrtle happy
Happier are daisies in Noon
But O shadow they will wither
Daisies, roses , violet, myrtle
They will wither very soon
Happy songs with candles mingle
Beetles with them weep and mourn
They are shining in the evening
They will fade in dewy morn
In the final hours of suffering
Linger thou till final beat
O my hermit, thou that walkst
Without shoes on thorn and sleet
Wherest thou go , mighty shadow?
In the darkest hours of pain
In the glooms of waning nights
Thousand times I called in vain
Walk and walk till final hour
In the bowers under sun
Walk on channels that are holy
If thou can not walk, then run
Walkst thou on ways of wisdom
Unravel thou moon and sun
Walkst on His holy channels
Angels, weathers, larks and men
I'll show thee way to Eden
Ways to Lord are ways to men
