Robert Graves - Traveller's Curse After Misdirection lyrics

Traveller's Curse After Misdirection (from the Welsh) By: Robert Graves May they stumble, stage by stage On an endless pilgrimage, Dawn and dusk, mile after mile, At each and every step a stile; At each and every step with all May they catch their feet and fall; At each and every fall they take May a bone within them break; And may the bone that breaks within Not be, for variations sake, now rib, now thigh, now arm, now shin, But always without fail, THE NECK.
