I
The hour was late, the night forlorn,
As I walked apace all alone,
Pondering deep in uncertain lore,
...
Through hills, plains, land and sea,
I journey where my fortunes be.
The roads are twisted, forked and dark,
and I know not where lies my mark.
...
We traipsed through countless lands,
Under the haven of resplendent pearls.
We followed the million shooting stars,
And stepped where infinity unfurls.
