XXXVI
Farewell
Tie the strings to my life, my Lord,Then I am ready to go!Just a look at the horses—Rapid! That will do!
Put me in on the firmest side,So I shall never fall;For we must ride to the Judgment,And it’s partly down hill.
But never I mind the bridges,And never I mind the sea;Held fast in everlasting raceBy my own choice and thee.
Good-by to the life I used to live,And the world I used to know;And kiss the hills for me, just once;Now I am ready to go!
