| Know a Trail on Toby is given here:
| L know a trail on Toby;
1t leaves the little town
n mile or two behind it
To the climber looking down;
I've climbed it many happy times
did not walk alone.
1 know a trail on Toby,
Where ferns and grasses meet
To fling a friendly Softness
To upward straining feet,
| While overhead the hemlockS
And balsam frs. are sweet
The Mayflower peeps in April
Beneath the melting snow,
! The wand of staid October
Sets every tree aglow;
L know a trail on Toby
It is not all I know.
