'''Uncertain light''' | '''Uncertain light''' | ||
Guideless and pathless, up rocky steeps, | |||
Man to his goal still onward keeps: | |||
Wild rushing torrents, seas raging hoarse, | |||
Dense roaring woods, nought hinders his course. | |||
Darkness and strife prevail in the sky, | |||
Clouds, like to armies, are massed on high; | |||
Loud rolling thunder, rain's gushing force, | |||
Black starless night, nought hinders his course. | |||
Lastly, ah, lastly, shines from afar, | |||
Is it the wildfire, is it a star? | |||
See how the light seems to call me home, | |||
How it invites me, bids me to come. | |||
Onward the wayfarer hastes through the night, | |||
Light ever seeking, onward with might! | |||
Flame is it, glowing, or morn's fiery breath? | |||
Is it a love-light, can it be death? | |||
