Wandering Light

 From an unknown place and to a place unknown 
Travel forth we, on a path unknown. 

That path strewn with rocks and thorns 

That path traversing with all its ups and downs 

That walk in the darkness and all alone

From an unknown place and to a place unknown 

Travel forth we, on a path unknown. 

Lest that I falter, fall into a stupor

Need a beam, a flickering flame 

or torch to light that path, 

to show and say

Onward you go on your way

Move with me, my fellow traveller

Nay a sound nor a whisper

With all its silence as my partner

From an unknown place and to a place unknown 

Travel forth we, on a path unknown. 

Let the light not be downed

Let that lamp not be drowned

Let the torch not scorch that path

In that gale I protect you sure

For its me and my selfish more 

Be my guard and be my shadow 

From an unknown place and to a place unknown 

Travel forth we, on a path unknown.
