TIE HIGHWAY,

Worn by hundred hurryinS feet.

Where once the grass grew green nnd

The Worlds fierce pulses beat.
Well for the highway that it lies >!
The passageway Of great emprise!
Yet from its dust what voices cry
Voices OF soft green growing things
Trampled and torn from earth whicn clings
Too closely, unperceiyins why
Its darling BARNS must die!

With laughing joys and crowdins Cares,
