THE SOUL'S PILGRIMAGE.

Give me my scallop-shell of quiet,
My staff of faith to walk upon,
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,

My bottle of salvation,

My gown of glory (hope's true gage,)
And then I'll take my pilgrimage.

Blood is my body's only balmer,

No other balm will here be given,

Whilst my soul, like quiet palmer,

Travelleth towards the land of heaven.

Over the silver mountains,

Where spring the nectar fountains,

There will I kiss the bowl of bliss-

Sir Walter Raleigh's Remains.
