Bright grew the road his weary feet had trod;
He turned and made his salutation to the morning
And found himself before the face of God.”
He must have been ‘headin’ west’ since he had to tum to face the morning. I have had plenty of time to think of such terms as Headin’ West in the last few days.

To the Islands of the Blessed,1
To the Kingdom of Ponemah,
To the Land of the Hereafter.”
