The Way
Friend, I have lost the
way.
The way leads on.
Is there another way?
The way is
one.
I must retrace the track.
It's lost and gone.
Back,
I must travel back!
None goes there, none.
Then I'll make here my
place,
(The road leads on),
Stand still and set my
face,
(The road leaps on),
Stay here, for ever stay.
None
stays here, none.
I cannot find the way.
The way leads
on.
Oh places I have passed!
That journey's done.
And
what will come at last?
The road leads on.
