BROWN ROADS by MIRIAM VEDDER

First Line: BROWN ROADS WE WANDERED
Last Line: I COULD NOT GO.
Subject(s): WELLESLEY COLLEGE;

BROWN roads we wandered
Up hills and down,
Past trees and houses,
Country and town;

By little rivers,
Close to the sea,
All roads were good roads
To you and me.

Brave talk and laughter,
Heart glad of heart,
Such merry comrades
Never should part!

Till one strange morning
White as the snow,
There was a road where
I could not go.
