Now the joys of the road are chiefly these	A
A crimson touch on the hard wood trees	A
	-
A vagrant's morning wide and blue	B
In early fall when the wind walks too	B
	-
A shadowy highway cool and brown	C
Alluring up and enticing down	C
	-
From rippled water to dappled swamp	D
From purple glory to scarlet pomp	D
	-
The outward eye the quiet will	E
And the striding heart from hill to hill	E
	-
The tempter apple over the fence	F
The cobweb bloom on the yellow quince	G
	-
The palish asters along the wood	H
A lyric touch of the solitude	I
	-
An open hand an easy shoe	B
And a hope to make the day go through	B
	-
Another to sleep with and a third	J
To wake me up at the voice of a bird	J
	-
The resonant far listening morn	K
And the hoarse whisper of the corn	K
	-
The crickets mourning their comrades lost	L
In the night's retreat from the gathering frost	L
	-
Or is it their slogan plaintive and shrill	E
As they beat on their corselets valiant still	E
	-
A hunger fit for the kings of the sea	M
And a loaf of bread for Dickon and me	M
	-
A thirst like that of the Thirsty Sword	N
And a jug of cider on the board	N
	-
An idle noon a bubbling spring	O
The sea in the pine tops murmuring	O
	-
A scrap of gossip at the ferry	M
A comrade neither glum nor merry	M
	-
Asking nothing revealing naught	P
But minting his words from a fund of thought	P
	-
A keeper of silence eloquent	Q
Needy yet royally well content	R
	-
Of the mettled breed yet abhorring strife	S
And full of the mellow juice of life	S
	-
A taster of wine with an eye for a maid	T
Never too bold and never afraid	T
	-
Never heart whole never heart sick	U
These are the things I worship in Dick	U
	-
No fidget and no reformer just	V
A calm observer of ought and must	V
	-
A lover of books but a reader of man	W
No cynic and no charlatan	X
	-
Who never defers and never demands	Y
But smiling takes the world in his hands	Y
	-
Seeing it good as when God first saw	Z
And gave it the weight of his will for law	Z
	-
And O the joy that is never won	X
But follows and follows the journeying sun	X
	-
By marsh and tide by meadow and stream	A2
A will o' the wind a light o' dream	A2
	-
Delusion afar delight anear	M
From morrow to morrow from year to year	M
	-
A jack o' lantern a fairy fire	M
A dare a bliss and a desire	M
	-
The racy smell of the forest loam	B2
When the stealthy sad heart leaves go home	B2
	-
O leaves O leaves I am one with you	B
Of the mould and the sun and the wind and the dew	B
	-
The broad gold wake of the afternoon	C2
The silent fleck of the cold new moon	C2
	-
The sound of the hollow sea's release	D2
From stormy tumult to starry peace	D2
	-
With only another league to wend	E2
And two brown arms at the journey's end	E2
	-
These are the joys of the open road	F2
For him who travels without a load	F2
