The poem has been referred to as "a short sequel" to "The Old Cumberland Beggar", and Wordsworth himself regarded it as "an overflowing" of it. The form of the poem has been described as "a sonnet-like poem in two acts". It consists of one stanza written in blank verse. The poem describes an old man and the journey he is on. It also touches upon the relationship the man has with the nature surrounding him and – except for the final version of the poem published in 1815 – it relates his encounter with the speaker. The narrator asks the old man a question about the objective of his journey, to which the man replies that he is on his way to see his dying son. (en)
