I did not reach Thee | B |
But my feet slip nearer every day | C |
Three Rivers and a Hill to cross | D |
One Desert and a Sea | B |
I shall not count the journey one | E |
When I am telling thee | B |
- | |
Two deserts but the Year is cold | F |
So that will help the sand | G |
One desert crossed | H |
The second one | E |
Will feel as cool as land | G |
Sahara is too little price | I |
To pay for thy Right hand | G |
- | |
The Sea comes last Step merry feet | J |
So short we have to go | K |
To play together we are prone | L |
But we must labor now | M |
The last shall be the lightest load | N |
That we have had to draw | O |
- | |
The Sun goes crooked | P |
That is Night | Q |
Before he makes the bend | R |
We must have passed the Middle Sea | B |
Almost we wish the End | R |
Were further off | S |
Too great it seems | T |
So near the Whole to stand | G |
- | |
We step like Plush | U |
We stand like snow | K |
The waters murmur new | V |
Three rivers and the Hill are passed | W |
Two deserts and the sea | B |
Now Death usurps my Premium | X |
And gets the look at Thee | B |
