The Journey.

The Journey.
All could l lay me down in this long

Blow over mel am SO tired. so tired
OF passing pleasant places. All my life.
Following Care along the dusty road.

Tugged ever, and | passed. All my life
long
over my shoulder have I looked al peace
And now | fain would lie in this long
And close my eyes.

Pause in their dance and break the ring
for me,
Dim, shady wood roads. redolent of fern
And bayberry, that thro, sweet bevies
OF round faced roses pink and petulant.

All thro' the dragging day-sharp under

And hot and like dead mist the dry dust
hangs
But far. oh. far as passionate eyes can

And long ah, long as rapturous eyes can
cling.
The world is mine, blue hill. still silver
lake,
Broad field. bright flower. and the long
white road.
A gateless garden. and an open path:
My feet to follow. and my heart to hold.

upon enforcement conditions in An
