Poems (Vadlan)/The Cross Roads
THE CROSS ROADS
On every cross-road that we reachThe Saviour marks are placed:Some. come early, some. come late,But there is a mark for each.
Journeying onward to the goal,That all must reach some day.Cross-roads and by-ways themselves unroll,To test us: in every way.
Ever inclined to run on ahead,Of the Master's plans for us;We arrive at the cross-roads and dreadTo see, no marks left there to trust.
