Lifa,s Pilgrim.

Like those who travel eastward through
the day,
We journey on along Life's devious way;
Behind us each a shadow hasteneth,
And suddenly, ere we are quite aware
Loi at our side a presence mute is there
To be our fellow to the door OF death
Darker the path each moment grows and
then
At last the journey done, Night falls again;
And with the Shadow we lie down to rest,
And slumber peacefully upon Earth's breast.
