Walk in the Light

We may walk in the light, even through the darkness;
We may walk in the light, when we do not know
Where the turn of the road may take us or the starkness
Of the shadow-land through which we have to go.

We were born for the light, we are children of the morning;
And light is as much in our mind as on our eyes;
We carry it in our thought for the day's adorning;
On the darkest day the light can fill the skies.

So walk in the light, and have no fear of the turning;
Though there is no road that at last does not pass from view,
The light by which you find your way is burning
Not out in the sky.  You carry the light in you.
