A cloak of darkness, like a shroud,
had crawled across the rolling land,
and through that darkness people trudged,
a weary, wand'ring, pilgrim band.
From day to day they marked their route,
but when at last all hope had gone,
in darkness, deeper than before,
some lost the heart to carry on.
Verses 3-5 follow
