Like some lone Pilgrim in the dusky night,

Seeking, through unknown paths, his doubtful way,

While thick nocturnal vapours veil his sight

From yawning chasms, that 'neath his footsteps lay;

Sudden before him gleams the forked light!

Dispels the gloom, yet fills him with dismay.

His trembling steps he then retraces back,

And seeks again the well-known beaten track.
