(from the Welsh) <br /> <br />May they stumble, stage by stage <br />On an endless Pilgrimage <br />Dawn and dusk, mile after mile <br />At each and every step a stile <br />At each and every step withal <br />May they catch their feet and fall <br />At each and every fall they take <br />May a bone within them break <br />And may the bone that breaks within <br />Not be, for variations sake <br />Now rib, now thigh, now arm, now shin <br />but always, without fail, the NECK<br /><br />Robert Graves<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-travellers-curse-after-misdirection/
