Along the trail my way I wend, -- The Trail Of No Return, -- That nearing is my journey's end, 'Tis mine to now discern. I leave, for aye, your stress and strife, Oh world, to me unkind, And long to reach the higher life, Beloved there to find. Mistakes I've made, committed sin, The years of living here; But pray forgiveness I'm to win, The faith, mine, naught to fear; Encouraged, so, the trail I tread, -- The Trail Of No Return, -- That leads on to the heights overhead, Away, from world sojourn. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE STORY OF SEVENTY-SIX by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT THE 'STAY AT HOME'S' PLAINT, 1878 by GEORGE AUGUSTUS BAKER JR.
