The pilgrim died, as the least of men
\nBut others learned in a dream
\nThat he, who had arrived alone one night
\nWas not as simple as he did seem.<\/p>\n

Another spoke that of his body, a glow
\nIt seemed to eminate
\nSo the least of men destined for the paupers grave
\nEnded up in robes, and lying in state.<\/p>\n

The simplest of folk of good hearts and deeds
\nWalk as if they are the humblest of all
\nWe are all pilgrims passing through Invea
\nFor whom death in its time does call.<\/p>\n
