THE CALL by AGATHA COLE

First Line: O, THE WINDING ROAD IS CALLING!
Last Line: AT THE BEND -- I MAY FIND LOVE.
Subject(s): LONGING;

O, the winding road is calling!
It is spring. If I go I'll see
At the bend of road, fair blossoms,
Fragrant, and blooming for me.

O, the winding road is calling!
But my work now bids me stay;
Though the breeze through trees is sighing --
I must stay at my task today.

O, the winding road is calling!
"A friend you may find on the way."
Birds are singing -- my heart longing --
But I turn and whisper, "Nay."

O, the winding road is calling!
There's the low mating call of a dove --
I'll leave my work -- take the winding road;
At the bend -- I may find love.
