Paraphrase of poem The Pilgrim class 8th
Answers
Answer:
Came at evening, cold and gray
To a chasm, deep and vast and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim.
The chasm held no fear for him.
But he paused when he reached the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near,
“Why waste your time in building here?
Your journey ends with the close of the day
You never again will pass this way.
You have crossed the chasm deep and wide
Why build ye here at even tide?”
The pilgrim raised his old gray head,
“My friend in the path I’ve come,” he said,
“There followeth after me today
A fair hairded youth, who must pass this way.
The chasm which held no fears for me
To the fair haired youth, may a pitfall be.
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim.
My friend, I am building this bridge for him.”
