Somewhere there waiteth in this world of ours
For one lone soul another lonely soul,
Each choosing each through all the weary hours,
And meeting strangely at one sudden goal,

And life's long night is ended, and the way
Lies open onward to eternal day.

That what will come, and must come, shall come well.
