Courage, Traveller

Incarnadine
Before the flash of green
Leaves the Western sky
And then deserts the scene
And now it’s lantern light
Now it’s one more step in the dark
Till the stars align
Courage, traveller on your path
Camasunary
Violet by the bay
Everything edges
Out of the silent day
And though it’s overcome
And it’s one more step in the dark
Still the clouds will part
Courage, traveller on your path
In such lightlessness
As we ourselves may find
Eyes fail, time blinds us
Along the bated line
And though it’s dead of night
And it’s one more step in the dark
With the stars your guide
Courage, traveller on your path
