GEORGE HENRY LANE

Now hollow fires burn out to black

and lights are guttering low:

Square your shoulders, lift your pack,

and leave your friends and go.

TEMPUS ABIRE MIHI EST

Oh never fear, man, nought's to dread,

Look not left nor right:

In all the endless road you tread,

There's nothing but the night

TEMPUS ABIRE MIHI EST
