Companions of the Way (Evening)Be of good comfort, RISE, He calleth thee.
THE white doves brood low With innocent flight.
Higher, my soul, higher!
Into the night!—
Into black night!
Beyond where the eagle
Soars strong to the sun.
Nought hast thou, if only
Earth's stars be won—
Earth's stars are won.
Beyond, where God's angels
Stand silent in might,
Higher, my soul, higher!
Into the light!—
Straight to God's light!
