THE RIVER ROAD, by                    
First Line: Perfume of honey, incense sweet
Last Line: Not ecstasy?
Subject(s): Beauty; Nature


Perfume of honey, incense sweet,
Among the trees
Where sleeps the river at their feet,
To drone of bees;
And lures the road, on winding way,
To follow still,
Beyond the bend, afar, astray,
Beyond the soaring hill --

O, soul of mine, is this to thee
Not ecstasy?
