FIVE LITTLE WANDERINGS: 3. YOUTH, by BERTON BRALEY Poet's Biography First Line: The sun is warm and the wind is sweet Last Line: There's a pot of gold at the end for me! Subject(s): Youth | ||||||||
The sun is warm and the wind is sweet And the road is lying before my feet And just where the sky and the mountains blend There's a pot of gold at the rainbow's end. A pot of gold for the men who dare To take the trail to the rainbow there. My spirit thrills to the rovers' code, My heart is fain for the open road, The smiling meadows, the arching sky, The color of life that flashes by. Love and laughter and hardship grim And fortunejust at the distant rim. So I kiss my sweetheart on the lips, And follow the road where it winds and dips, I follow the road that calls me plain. I follow the road through joy and pain, With a heart that's glad and a soul that's free; There's a pot of gold at the end for me! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BETWEEN THE WARS by ROBERT HASS THE GOLDEN SHOVEL by TERRANCE HAYES ALONG WITH YOUTH by ERNEST HEMINGWAY THE BLACK RIVIERA by MARK JARMAN |
