He goes around the world
On a long travel to learn
And wonders at heights of mountain crests,
At huge waves of the seas,
On long courses of big rivers,
At vast concourse of oceans,
About motion of heavenly bodies,
At sandy dunes of desert seas,
And then he returns
At the journey's end—
The same man still
As when he started off!
