The Way

by Robert Herrick, 1647

When I a ship see on the seas,
Cuff’d with those wat’ry savages,
And therewithal behold it hath
In all that way no beaten path,
Then, with a wonder, I confess
Thou art our way i’ th’ wilderness;
And while we blunder in the dark,
Thou art our candle there, or spark.
