Unto The End.

I know not where tomorrows path may wind
Nor what the future holds; but this I know
Which-ever way my feet are forced to go
I shall be given courage, to the end.

Tho God that awful gift of His, may send
We call long life - where head stones in a row
Hide all of happiness, yet, be it so;
I shall be given courage to the end.

If dark the deepening shadows be, that blend
With lifes pale sunlight, when the sun dips low.
Tho joy speeds by, and sorrows steps are slow
I shall be given courage to the end.

I do not question what the years portend -
Or good, or ill, whatever wind may blow,
It is enough - enough for me to know
I shall be given courage to the end.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
