Poesy

Now hollow fires burn out to black

Now hollow fires burn out to black,And lights are guttering low:Square your shoulders, lift your pack,And leave your friends and go.

Oh never fear, man, nought's to dread,Look not left nor right:In all the endless road you treadThere's nothing but the night.
