stand


with an empty pail i stand to cross
the road flowing with speedy traffic
but i know not my path, nor the point
i need to be later at the evening hour!

will i, then, meet an angel to help
me dodge death at the road-side
filling also the empty in my hand
to make my travel worthwhile

and, at last, climb on the stand
to be announced a true victor
even if i am deprived of an angelic
visitation as i continue to stand
