From there<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
\n Yes, to the very end.
\nWill the day\u2019s journey take the whole long day?
\n From morn to night, my friend.<\/p>\n

But is there for the night a resting-place?
\n A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
\nMay not the darkness hide it from my face?
\n You cannot miss that inn.<\/p>\n

Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?
\n Those who have gone before.
\nThen must I knock, or call when just in sight?
\n They will not keep you standing at that door.<\/p>\n

Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
\n Of labour you shall find the sum.
\nWill there be beds for me and all who seek?
\n Yea, beds for all who come.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
