A Wand'rer's Dream
- Scott Collins Pickett
In the Dawning of my years When life was but a waking dream I often pondered in my heart Who am I? What do I mean? Do I walk with purpose here? What are my footsteps measured by? Where will my journey take me When Day is past and Night belies? I cried- O Morning, ransom me from gloom! O Sun, shine forth thy rays of truth! I'm lost, a wand'rer in the dark Send forth they light and aid my view! Alas! Before my eyes did beam Effulgent rays of light Divine And poured across the open plain Spreading o'er the fields of time I found myself upon a path Extending back beyond my sight Before me trav'ling well past Ev'n Following course beyond the Night And there I saw in distant view Upon a noble mountain's dome A wond'rous City pure and white With access by the path alone
