Envoy.
Just as of old! The world rolls on and on; The day dies into night - night into dawn - Dawn into dusk - through centuries untold. - Just as of old. Time loiters not. The river ever flows, Its brink or white with blossoms or with snows; Its tide or warm with Spring or Winter cold: Just as of old. Lo! where is the beginning, where the end Of living, loving, longing? Listen, friend! - God answers with a silence of pure gold - Just as of old.
