A covert from the wind and rain;

A hiding-place, a rest, a home—

A refuge from the wrath to come:

Haste, traveler, haste!

5 Then linger not in all the plain;

Flee for thy life—the mountain gain;

Look not behind, make no delay;

O, speed thee, speed thee on thy way!

Haste, traveler, haste!

Collyer.
