7 I tramp a perpetual journey, my signs are rain- proof coat and good shoes and a staff cut from the woods; No friend of mine takes his ease in my chair, I have no chair, nor church nor phylosophy; I lead no man to a dinner- table or library or exchange, But each man and each woman of you I lead upon a knoll, my lem hand hooks you round the waist, my right hand points to landscapes of con;nents, and a plain public road.
