A white road between sea and land, <br />Night and silence on either hand <br />Pointing to some unknown gate <br />A white forefinger of fate. <br /> <br />I follow, I follow I ll wend <br />My way on this road to the end; <br />Silence may keep to the sea, <br />On land no light shines free. <br /> <br />Bend low impenetrable sky <br />Through your shades my road runs high: <br />It needs no stars to guide <br />No measuring sea-tide. <br /> <br />I breathe the imperishable breath, <br />I trespass the bounds of death - <br />For my heart knows all the way <br />To the eternal day.<br /><br />William Stanley Braithwaite<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-white-road/
