Every nighte and all;

And Christe receive thye saule.

Today the journey is ended,
I have worked out the mandates of fate;
Naked, along, undefended,
I knock at the Uttermost Gate.
Behind is life and its longing,
Its trial, its trouble, its sorrow,
Beyond is the Infinite Morning
Of a day without a tomorrow.

And glance, and nod, and bustle by,
And never once possess our soul
Before we die.
