Bands of dark and bands of light <br />Lie athwart the homeward way; <br />Now we cross a belt of Night, <br />Now a strip of shining Day! <br /> <br />Now it is a month of June, <br />Now December's shivering hour; <br />Now rides high loved memories' Moon, <br />Now the Dark is dense with power! <br /> <br />Summers, winters, days, and nights, <br />Moons, and clouds, they come and go; <br />Joys and sorrows, pains, delights, <br />Hope and fear, and <br />yes <br />and <br />no <br />. <br /> <br />All is well: come, girls and boys, <br />Not a weary mile is vain! <br />Hark-dim laughter's radiant noise! <br />See the windows through the rain!<br /><br />George MacDonald<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/traveller-s-song/
