- Does the road wind up-hill all the way? - Yes, to the very end. - Will the day's journey take the whole long day? - From morn to night, my friend. - But is there for the night a resting-place? - A roof for when the slow dark hours begin. - May not the darkness hide it from my face? - You cannot miss that inn. - Shall I meet other wayfarers at night? - Those who have gone before. - Then must I knock, or call when just in sight? - They will not keep you standing at that door. - Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak? - Of labour you shall find the sum. - Will there be beds for me and all who seek? - Yea, beds for all who come.
