但我知我正在旅行，將與我的朋友相會。

Cheerless is the day, the light under frowning clouds is like a punished child with traces of tears on its pale cheeks, and the cry of the wind is like the cry of a wounded world.

Lead me , my Guide, before the light fades, into the valley of quiet where life’s harvest mellows into golden wisdom

the dark and tree-tops like blots of ink. I shall wait for the morning and wake up to see thy city in the light.

Let this be my last word, that I trust in thy love.
