Poem by Stephen Crane

* * *

Mystic shadow, bending near me,
Who art thou?
Whence come ye?
And -- tell me -- is it fair
Or is the truth bitter as eaten fire?

Tell me!
Fear not that I should quaver.
For I dare -- I dare.
Then, tell me!

1. A man toiled on a burning road
2. Upon the road of my life
3. The successful man has thrust himself
4. There was a man and a woman
5. Supposing that I should have the courage
