GREAT DAY THAT DAWNS

 

                                                                 And I thought over again

                                                                 my small adventures

                                                                 As with a shore-wind I drifted out

                                                                 In my kayak

                                                                 And thought I was in danger,

 

                                                                                   My fears,

                                                                                   Those small ones

                                                                                   That I thought so big

                                                                                   For all the vital things

                                                                                   I had to get and reach

 

                                                                 And yet, there is only

                                                                 One great thing,

                                                                 The only thing:

                                                                 To live and see in huts and on journeys

                                                                 The great day that dawns,

                                                                 And the light that fills the world.
