I SIT alone, to-night—to-day our two roads meet, You helped me find the right, and I will not forget; I’m pledged to do my best with lips that will not lie, To strive with mind and heart as all the days go by. You looked so strong and bold when all was done and said— You have a heart of gold—and I have one of lead— Some day I’ll climb the height, if fortune fair betide, I only know to-night the world is strangely wide.
