Explore "Song of a Pilgrim-Soul (Songs of Hearth and Altar)" by Henry Van Dyke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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.
