The pilgrim that journeys all day
Language: English
The pilgrim that journeys all Day To visit some far distant Shrine, If he bear but a Relic away, Is happy nor heard to repine. Thus widely remov'd from the Fair, Where my Vows my Devotion I owe, Soft Hope is the Relic I bear, And my Solace where ever I go.
