WANDERINGS OF A PILGRIM

IN THE

SHADOW OF MONT BLANC

AND THE

JUNGFRAU ALP.

BY

GEORGE B. CHEEVER, D.D.,

ACTHOR CF "LECTURES ON THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS AND ON THE
LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN BUNYAN."

Lo, in the Vale the mists of evening spread!

The visionary arches are not there,
Nor the green Islands, nor the shining Seas;
Yet sacred to me is this Mountain's head,
From which I have been lifted on the breeze
Of harmony, above all earthly care.
