1. O traveler, what is patience but
To abandon all except Him

2. If only you would pause, even if just a momentary stop
On a glorious, exalted hilltop

3. You would convey on the day we parted
My greetings from a broken covenant

4. And chastise the cowardly heart
With the law of brave longing

5. Alas! You would not permit a meeting
While you are stingy with farewell
