The Pilgrim + 

For an Album + 

There stray’d awhile, amid the woods of Dart, + 

One who could love them, but who durst not love. + 

A vow had bound him, ne’er to give his heart + 

To streamlet bright, or soft secluded grove. + 

’Twas a hard humbling task, onwards to move + 

His easy-captured eyes from each fair spot, + 

With unattach’d and lonely step to rove + 

O’er happy meads, which soon its print forgot:⁠— + 

Yet kept he safe his pledge, prizing his pilgrim-lot. + 
