And we must go on in the midst of this,
leaving behind the anguish of the tomb,
leaving the breath of peace, sweet comfort’s kiss
enfolding us, and set off through the gloom
like travelers to Emmaus—racked with doubt,
unable to see the Lord, yet hearts afire—
into the valley with only one way out
asking for eagle’s wings and not to tire.
