As o’er the gloomy heath the Pilgrim strays, - ZaunköniG - 22.07.2007
As o’er the gloomy heath the Pilgrim strays,
When night’s dark shadows thicken all around,
While nought he hears, save the low moaning sound
Of sweeping winds – at length, far distant rays
Of light from some low cottage bless his gaze;
With joy he then pursues his lonely way,
No longer to despair and grief a prey,
But cheering hope once more his bosom sways.
Thus have I wander’d in Life’s dreary scene,
Forlorn and hopeless – while Affliction’s blast
My sky with threat’ning clouds has overcast;
But gentle Friendship’s hallow’d lamp serene,
With guiding ray has bid my fears depart,
And spread its soothing influence through my heart.
