Songs
from a Northern Garden
by
Bliss Carman
|
THE
DEEP HOLLOW ROAD
|
|
Cool
in the summer mountain's heart,
It lies in dim mysterious shade,
Left of the highway turning in
With grassy rut and easy grade.
The
marshes and the sea behind,
|
5 |
The
solemn fir-blue hills before;
Here is the inn for Heavy-heart
And this is weary Free-foot's door.
O
fellows, I have known it long;
For joy of life turn in with me;
|
10 |
We bivouac
with peace to-night,
And good-bye to the brawling sea.
You hear? That's master thrush. He knows
The voluntaries fit for June,
And when to falter on the flute
|
15 |
In
the satiety of noon.
A
mile or two we follow in
This rosy streak through forest gloom,
Then for the ample orchard slopes
And all the earth one snowy bloom! |
