Song Of A Pilgrim-Soul

Title:     Song Of A Pilgrim-Soul
Author: Henry Van Dyke [More Titles by Van Dyke]

March on, my soul, nor like a laggard stay!
March swiftly on. Yet err not from the way
Where all the nobly wise of old have trod,--
The path of faith, made by the sons of God.

Follow the marks that they have set beside
The narrow, cloud-swept track, to be thy guide:
Follow, and honour what the past has gained,
And forward still, that more may be attained.

Something to learn, and something to forget:
Hold fast the good, and seek the better yet:
Press on, and prove the pilgrim-hope of youth:
The Creeds are milestones on the road to Truth.

[The end]
Henry Van Dyke's poem: Song Of A Pilgrim-soul
