Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBB DDEFFGH IIJKKJJ LLMKKMNStill thus when twilight gleamed | A |
Far off his Castle seemed | A |
Traced on the sky | B |
And still as fancy bore him | C |
To those dim towers before him | C |
He gazed with wishful eye | B |
And thought his home was nigh | B |

Hall of my Sires he said | D |
How long with weary tread | D |
Must I toil on | E |
Each eve as thus I wander | F |
Thy towers seem rising yonder | F |
But scarce hath daylight shone | G |
When like a dream thou'rt gone | H |

So went the Pilgrim still | I |
Down dale and over hill | I |
Day after day | J |
That glimpse of home so cheering | K |
At twilight still appearing | K |
But still with morning's ray | J |
Melting like mist away | J |

Where rests the Pilgrim now | L |
Here by this cypress bough | L |
Closed his career | M |
That dream of fancy's weaving | K |
No more his steps deceiving | K |
Alike past hope and fear | M |
The Pilgrim's home is here | N |
