Then through the great town’s harsh, heart-wearying roar, Let in thy voice a whisper often come, To chase fatigue and fear: Why faintest thou? I wander’d till I died. Roam on! the light we sought is shining still. Dost thou ask proof? Our Tree yet crowns the hill, Our Scholar travels yet the loved hillside.

To chase fatigue and fear:
Why faintest thou? I wander’d till I died.
Roam on! the light we sought is shining still.
Dost thou ask proof? Our Tree yet crowns the hill,
Our Scholar travels yet the loved hillside.
