FOOT FARERS
Farers on foot Are blessed with much to see; Flowers and birds and goodly company Of trees; insects bewinged and fishes , silver mailed; Secret by-paths by furry creatures trailed.
Farers on foot Are blessed with much to hear: Birdsong and wind-blown echoes far and near; Lowing of kine and bough-borne woody
tones; Singing of swirling water over stones.
Farers on foot Are blessed with much to know: Kinship with earth- and saptide’s ebb and flow; Knowledge of ways not traversed oft by man ... Foot farers blest since journeys first began.
—Hilda I. Rostron; in the ‘ Windsor Magazine.’
