Traveler Unknown
Traditional early American Hymn with similarities to Sufi Mystical Poetry
from Holly Tannen's album, Rime of the Ancient Matriarch
Oh, come thou traveler unknown
Whom I do hold but cannot see
My company before has gone
and I am left alone with thee
With thee all night I mean to stay
And wrestle till the break of day
With thee all night I mean to stay
And wrestle till the break of day
In vain thou strugglest to get free
I never shall release my hold
Who are thou, Who art thou to me?
The secret of thy love unfold
Wrestling I will not let thee go
Til I thy name, thy nature know
Wrestling I will not let thee go
Til I thy name, thy nature know
