[‘Alas, friend, since your journey was begun]
‘Alas, friend, since your journey was begun,How many have outstript you in the race!’
I have not raced at all, nor even run,
But gone along my track at easy pace,
Look'd at the landscapes, gather'd berries, shared
Wayfaring talk, and barter'd song and tale;
Loiter'd to hear the lark or nightingale;
'Twas for the journey, not the goal, I cared.
