The Congo and Other Poems
Contents:
I Went Down Into the Desert
I went down into the desert
To meet Elijah —
Arisen from the dead.
I thought to find him in an echoing cave;
.
I went down into the desert
To meet John the Baptist.
I walked with feet that bled,
Seeking that prophet lean and brown and bold.
.
I went down into the desert
To meet my God.
By him be comforted.
I went down into the desert
To meet my God.
.
I went down into the desert
To meet my God.
O, Lord my God, awaken from the dead!
I see you there, your thorn-crown on the ground,
I see you there, half-buried in the sand.
I see you there, your white bones glistening, bare,
.
