And desire which the Shadow,
Leading me swiftly through the caverns of darkness,
Could not extinguish.

Take its meaning to heart:
You too may walk, after the hills at Miller's Ford
Seem no longer far away;
Long after you see them near at hand,
Beyond four miles of meadow;
And after woman's love is silent,
Saying no more: I will save you.

The long, long way that begins with school days,
When little fingers blur under the tears
That fall on the crooked letters.

And this is the silence of wisdom.
