From my present mountaintop
I look back whence I came:
An unexpected passage through
Some bleak and rough terrain.
I look on what you did for me:
The years of borrowed days,
The sacrifice of liberty
That only love repays;
The grace with which you gave yourselves,
Though not without great cost,
Not blaming me for fortune's gift
Nor counting what was lost.
I feel a flood of gratitude
Like sunlight through my heart,
A light that lights the candle of
The life about to start. |
