What Of The Night

To you, who look below,

Where little candles glow –

Who listen in a narrow street,

Confused with noise of passing feet –

To you ’tis wild and dark;

No light, no guide, no ark,

For travellers lost on moor and lea,

And ship-wrecked mariners at sea.

But they who stand apart,

With hushed but wakeful heart –

They hear the lulling of the gale,

And see the dawn-rise faint and pale.

A dawn whereto they grope

In trembling faith and hope,

If haply, brightening, it may cast

A gleam on path and goal at last.
