XIV. “The Goal in Sight” | | By Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894) |
| | November 16
THE GOAL in sight! Look up and sing, | |
| Set faces full against the light, | |
| Welcome with rapturous welcoming | |
| The goal in sight. | |
| |
| Let be the left, let be the right: | 5 |
| Straight forward make your footsteps ring | |
| A loud alarum through the night. | |
| |
| Death hunts you, yea, but reft of sting; | |
| Your bed is green, your shroud is white: | |
| Hail! Life and Death and all that bring | 10 |
| The goal in sight. | | | | |
