The pilgrim

H. Howells

Phoebe drest like beauty's queen,

Jellicoe in faint pea-green,

Sitting all beneath a grot,

Where the little lambkins trot.

Maidens dancing, lovers a-sporting,

All the country folk a-courting,

Susan, Johnny, Bob, and Joe,

Lightly tripping on a row.

Happy people, who can be

In happiness compar'd with ye?

The pilgrim with his crook and hat

Sees your happiness complete.
