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!
