Poems (Taylor)/The End of the Way

​
THE END OF THE WAY
Much have I seen by the winding way;
 And much have I desired.
What is the end of it all to-day?—
 Jesu, I am tired!

I met with Love amid the dew;
 At noon with Shame and Wrath;—
At sunset those three gibbets threw
 Their shadows on my path.

No beauty can I bear to see.
 Too much have I desired.
Here is a wayside Calvary!
 Jesu, I am tired.
