4 the traveler has come back across a thousand leagues. My wife and children are amazed I survived, when surprise settles, they wipe away tears. I was tossed about in the world? s troubles, 8 now by luck I have managed to come back alive. Neighbors fill the tops of the walls, stirred to sighs, and even sobbing.
