The Wearisome Traveller


The weary traveller sat down with his load,
The road had been ever unkind,
Crushed the soul of the dreamy eyed,
He who trode for years but could not find..

The search took him to many places,
Brothels, theatres, taverns, et al,
But he could not pinpoint any one thing,
He spent his money, and youth along..

Tired but never broken,
He kept walking in spite of falling down,
With faith in heart and grit in mind,
With scraped knees, but without a frown..

Years and years had passed like this,
When one day he reached a place so secluded,
He saw a girl when he was about to die,
And found the love that had him so eluded..!!
