LIES JOURNEY TO THE CITY OF REST
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

S we speed out OF youths sunny station
~ The track seems to shine in the light.
n But 1t suddenly shoots over ohasms
Or sinks into tunnels of night
And the hearts that were brave in the morning
Are filled with Tepining and fears
As they pause at the City Of Sorrow,
Or pass through the Valley OF Tears.
But the road Of this Derilous journey
The hand of the Master has made;
With all its discomforts and dangers
We need not be sad or afraid.
Paths leading from light into darkness.
Ways DlunSinE from gloom to despair.
Wind ont through The tunnels of midnight
To fields that blooming and fair.
Though the rocks and the shadows surround Us.
Though we catch not one CLEAN Of the day.
Above US fair cities laughing.
And dipping white feet in some bay.
And always. eternal. forever,
Down the hills in the West,
The last final end Of our journey.
There lies the Great Station Of Rest.
