The beckoning road winds round the hill And I, I follow lightly Where blossoms tall on either hand Nod friendly-wise and springtly. A vista greets my startled eyes That all my soul enthralls, And from the far horizon-rim A misty cloud peak calls. The ancient urge of wanderlust Impels my willing feet As round succeeding hills I trip Expectant, joyous, fleet. When on this haunting pageantry Night's silent curtain falls And from the murky forest-glades The lonely hermit calls, I, all my eager steps retrace And seek my roofed abode, To find again in happy dreams My blithely winding road. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BUMS, ON WAKING by JAMES DICKEY A FOLK SINGER OF THE THIRTIES by JAMES DICKEY WANDERER IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY by CLARENCE MAJOR THE WANDERER by WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN LONG GONE by STERLING ALLEN BROWN BLACK SHEEP by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON A VAGABOND SONG by BLISS CARMAN BALLADE OF MID-WINTER NIGHTS by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN |
