Jesus to His Deciples
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892 to 1950
I have instructed you to follow me What way I go;
The road is hard, and stony,—as I know;
Uphill it climbs, and from the crushing heat
No shelter will he found
Save in my shadow : wherefore follow me; the footprints of my feet
Will be distinct and clear;
Elowever trodden on, they will not disappear.
And see ye not at last
How tall I am?—Even at noon I cast
A shadow like a forest far behind me on the ground.
