MET him one day on a long railroad track,
With a staff in his hand and a pack on his back,
And I said to him merrily, “ Whither away ?”
And, “ What part of the world have you come from to-day,
In such mizzly, drizzly weather ?”

And said to me quickly, “ From nowhere come I;
But Pm walking as fast as I possibly can
To the place ” —(he was smiling, this little old man)
“To the place where the oe come together.
