Love Songs  (1917)  Sara Teasdale The Lamp

A November Night→

New York: Macmillan Co. page 84

THE LAMP If I can bear your love like a lamp before me, When I go down the long steep Road of Darkness, I shall not fear the everlasting shadows,  Nor cry in terror. If I can find out God, then I shall find Him, If none can find Him, then I shall sleep soundly, Knowing how well on earth your love sufficed me,  A lamp in darkness.
