Keep the Old Trail well in Sight
Till you know the New is Right.

When Mists around the Mountain wreathe a Veil,
Don't go Exploring—keep the Well-marked Trail.

T HE Trail that winds among the Darkened Trees
You cannot see? Then follow Him who Sees.

W ALK not the Errant Path; the Broadening Way
You tread will lead Young Wanderers astray.

N O Path can give Delight
To him whose Shoes are Tight.
