I do not fear
To walk the lonely road
Which leads far out into the sullen night
Nor do I fear the rebel
Wind tossed sea that stretches onward
Far beyond the night of human lands or human loves
It is the brooding, sharp-thorned discontent I fear
The nagging days without a second song
The sunlit noon of ease
The burden of delight and flattery
It is the hate touched soul I dread
The joyless heart
The unhappy faces in the streets
The smouldering fires of unforgiven slights
These I do fear
Not nights
Nor surging seas
Nor rebel hands
But heart unlovely and unloved
