Not the speediest of coaches Nor all the ships at sea, Can bring me to that lovely land Where I would be. I have a way of going No one would dream about, A secret gate swings quietly And I am out Among long gone companions And dear enchanting things Blue brooks and flowers and lacy trees And swift bright wings. ... Whoever would imagine When I sit here to sew That I could steal off anywhere And they not know! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RICHARD, WHAT'S THAT NOISE? by RICHARD HOWARD LOOKING FOR THE GULF MOTEL by RICHARD BLANCO RIVERS INTO SEAS by LYNDA HULL DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE ONE WHO WAS DIFFERENT by RANDALL JARRELL THE CONFESSION OF ST.
