WHITHER by JOHN VANCE CHENEY

First Line: WITHER LEADS THIS PATHWAY, LITTLE ONE?
Last Line: TO THE WHITE QUIET OF THE CHURCHYARD FOLD.

WHITHER leads this pathway, little one? --
It runs just on and on, is never done.

Whither leads this pathway, mistress fair? --
That path to town, sir; to the village square.

Whither leads this pathway, father old? --
To the white quiet of the churchyard fold.
