More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
LAMENT OF A MoToR1sT

I like the little hidden hooks
Where blue birds pipe their song,
And leaping, dancing, crystal brooke
Are spashing all day long.
1 like the fragrance in the air
The scent of rain-damp soil
I long while to tarry there
Forgetting care and toll.
But 1 shall never take my ease
Where birds and brookiets play
For all the lovely spots like these
Are off the broad highway.
like the little mountain dells
Where flowers linger late,
Where human fancy never dwells
On greed, or haste, or hate.
The quiet pines their branches rear
Up toward the quiet sky
And whisper softly in ones ear
When vagrant winds go by.
But never shall 1 hear them sigh
AS lay down my load
For such oases never lie
Beside the paved high road.
like the placid river bend
Where swallows dip and pass,
And solemn dappled cattle wend
Their way among the grass.
like to listen to the swish
And see the silver CLEAN,
When now and then wakened fish
Comes leaping from the stream.
But never, never may make
My nest in such a bower
For I my homeward way must take
At forty miles an hour.
