THE ANSWER

John Freeman

O, my feet have worn a track Deep and old in going back. Thought released turns to its home As bees through tangling thickets come.

One way of thought leads to the vast Desert of the mind, and there is lost, But backward leads to a dancing light And myself there, stiff with delight.

O, well my thought has trodden a way From this brief day to that long day.
