I have brought you here so that you may look in it, if you will.
When they arise
From their quiet fields,
To shake the towers and counsels of the Great
Though I do not know the way
Who of all the Wise will have foreseen it?
No evil, unless a man bring it hither himself.
You know not what you say.
And saw a crown of stars appear;
As gems upon a silver thread;
Above the shadow of his head.
West Wind blew there; the light upon the Silver Tree.
Alive without breath;
as cold as death;
All dead, all rotten.
Oathbreakers, why have ye come?
The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
Let others follow it who can!
Let them a journey new begin,
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.
I will not say: do not weep;for not all tears are an evil.
.I have passed the test.
