Poems (Shipton)/The Last Journey
THE LAST JOURNEY.
"They two went on."—2 Kings ii. 6.
So far with me, no farther now, Our journey all so brief is done; Thou goest on thine unseen way, And I must tread my path alone.
"They two went on," and we have been Through Bethel's plain and Jordan's flood; Then one went back to serve and wait, And one soared up to dwell with God.
We two went on. Ah! not alone; And though no car of light I see, There walks with me the Holy One,— And Christ the Living God with thee.
