THE PILGRIM
"Death, thy pledge! Thou hast betrayed me!
Naught have I and thou in common:
It is Life that I am seeking!"
With transfiguring smile the angel,
Whose whole look now showed celestial,
Answered:—"Is it Life thou seekest?"
Be at rest, thou weary pilgrim!
Seek no further: thou hast found me."
