Closed Path

I thought that my voyage had come to its end 

at the last limit of my power,---that the path before me was closed, 

that provisions were exhausted 

and the time come to take shelter in a silent obscurity. 

But I find that thy will knows no end in me. 

And when old words die out on the tongue, 

new melodies break forth from the heart; 

and where the old tracks are lost, 

new country is revealed with its wonders.
