LX
Now hollow fires burn out to black,
  
And lights are guttering low:
Square your shoulders, lift your pack,
  
And leave your friends and go.
Oh never fear, man, nought's to dread,
  
Look not left nor right:
In all the endless road you tread
  
There's nothing but the night.
A.E. Housman, A Shropshire Lad
