"Closing In"
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Just room for me to squeeze between
The lowered ceiling and divide,
Just power enough to make the ridge
And, panting, gain the other side;
Just light enough to see my field
And in the shadows kiss the grass;
Just strength, just heart, just time enough,
For me, the tardy one, to pass.
O hill, O strip of clearing sky,
Hold up the bars till I get by!
O lovely day--forgive my sin,
One breath of light will let me in!
