THE FORK OF THE ROAD, by                    
First Line: An utter moorland, high, and wide, and flat
Last Line: A signpost; pointing this way, pointing that.


An utter moorland, high, and wide, and flat;
A beaten roadway, branching out in grave distaste
And weather-beaten and defaced,
Pricking its ears along the solitary waste --
A signpost; pointing this way, pointing that.
