PILGRIM.

On my hat a feather,
In my hand a staff,
I have wandered slowly,
The world’s better half.

Far away from your heart,
Far and far away,
When I could not think, heart,
Then I sang all day.

On my hat a feather,
In my heart a pain,
I have wandered slowly,
O’er and o’er the plain.

But at length I turned me,
Once more to the past.
Useless to forget thee—
Heart, I came at last.
