The path so long

     before me lay

going to where

     I would not go

and I from it

     would gladly turn

I would follow

     another way

but that choice

     is not mine

and in it

     I had no say

another chose

     this path for me

and from it

     I cannot stray

it goes into

     the valley deep

where cold shadows

     dark do lay

I know not if

     I have the strength

to through the valley

     make my way

and its depths

     I do fear

that there in

     I may be trapped

hard is the light

     from there to see

and hope there in

     to hold to

I fear that I

     am far too weak

and from there

     to never leave
