If I can bear your love like a lamp before me, <br />When I go down the long steep Road of Darkness, <br />I shall not fear the everlasting shadows, <br /> Nor cry in terror. <br /> <br />If I can find out God, then I shall find Him, <br />If none can find Him, then I shall sleep soundly, <br />Knowing how well on earth your love sufficed me, <br /> A lamp in darkness.<br /><br />Sara Teasdale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lamp/
