Going Out and Coming In

Improvement Era, vol. 4, no. 1, November 1900, p. 34

Isa Craig Knox

34 IMPROVEMENT ERA .

An awful darkness resteth On the path they both begin, Who thus met upon the threshold, Going out and coming in.

Going out unto the triumph, Coming in unto the fight- Coming in unto the darkness, Going out unto the light; Although the shadow deepened In the moment of eclipse, Whenhe passed through the dread portal, With the blessing on his lips.

And to him who bravely conquers As he conquered in the strife, Life is but the way of dying- Death is but the gate of life : Yet, awful darkness resteth On the path we all begin Where we meet upon the threshold Going out and coming in. Mrs. Isa Craig Knox.
