Did lead me many a mile | B |
Through goat's rue with its dim caress | C |
And pink and pearl white smile | B |
Through crowfoot with its golden lure | D |
And promise of far things | E |
And sorrel with its glance demure | D |
And wide eyed wonderings | E |
- | |
It led me with its innocence | E |
As childhood leads the wise | E |
With elbows here of tattered fence | E |
And blue of wildflower eyes | E |
With whispers low of leafy speech | F |
And brook sweet utterance | E |
With bird like words of oak and beech | F |
And whisperings clear as Pan's | E |
- | |
It led me with its childlike charm | G |
As candor leads desire | H |
Now with a clasp of blossomy arm | G |
A butterfly kiss of fire | H |
Now with a toss of tousled gold | I |
A barefoot sound of green | J |
A breath of musk of mossy mold | I |
With vague allurements keen | J |
- | |
It led me with remembered things | E |
Into an old time vale | K |
Peopled with fa euml ry glimmerings | E |
And flower like fancies pale | K |
Where fungous forms stood gold and gray | L |
Each in its mushroom gown | M |
And roofed with red glimpsed far away | L |
A little toadstool town | M |
- | |
It led me with an idle ease | E |
A vagabond look and air | N |
A sense of ragged arms and knees | E |
In weeds grown everywhere | N |
It led me as a gypsy leads | E |
To dingles no one knows | E |
With beauty burred with thorny seeds | E |
And tangled wild with rose | E |
- | |
It led me as simplicity | O |
Leads age and its demands | E |
With bee beat of its ecstasy | O |
And berry stained touch of hands | E |
With round revealments puff ball white | P |
Through rents of weedy brown | M |
And petaled movements of delight | P |
In roseleaf limb and gown | M |
- | |
It led me on and on and on | Q |
Beyond the Far Away | L |
Into a world long dead and gone | R |
The world of Yesterday | L |
A faery world of memory | O |
Old with its hills and streams | E |
Wherein the child I used to be | O |
Still wanders with his dreams | E |
