The Lonely Pathway.

A lonely pathway twines around
A lofty cliff high from the ground,
On one side a falls is falling
Against the ground its waters
calling.
On the other side a stone does lie.
As II il watched the falls and sky;
While down below where the water
darts
Is a bare streak of earth where
the pathway starts.
Now this Is falls on the other side,
Where a gorge with its cliffs all
around it abide,
Where the pathway Is winding
higher still.
Where IL one should assemble
would soon have a chill
But the pathway still winds to the
top of the cliff.
Where the snow lies deep and the
ground is froze stiff
