I took the road again last night	A
On which my boyhood's hills look down	B
The old road leading from the town	B
The village there below the height	A
Its cottage homes all huddled brown	B
Each with its blur of light	A
	-
The old road full of ruts that leads	C
A winding streak of limestone grey	D
Over the hills and far away	D
That's crowded here by arms of weeds	C
And elbows of railfence asway	D
With flowers that no one heeds	C
	-
That's dungeoned here by rocks and trees	E
And maundered to by waters there	F
Lifted into the free wild air	F
Of meadow land serenities	E
The old road stretching far and fair	F
To where my tired heart sees	E
	-
That says 'Come take me for a mile	G
And let me show you mysteries	E
The things the yellow moon there sees	E
And those few stars that 'round her smile	G
Come take me now you are at ease	E
And walk with me a while '	-
	-
And I I took it at its word	H
And friendships clothed in olden guise	E
Walked with me and as I surmise	E
Old dreams for twenty years unheard	H
And love who gazed into my eyes	E
As once when youth adored	I
	-
And voices vocal silences	E
And visions that my youth had seen	J
Slipped from each side in silvery green	J
And spoke to me in memories	E
And recollections smiled between	J
My tear wet face and trees	E
	-
Enchantment walked by field and farm	K
And whispered me on either side	L
And where the fallows broadened wide	L
Dim mystery waved a moon white arm	K
Or from the woodland moonbeam eyed	L
Beckoned a filmy form	M
	-
Spirits of wind and starlight wove	N
From fern to fern a drowsy dance	E
Or o'er the wood stream hung a trance	E
And from the leaves that dreamed above	O
The elfin dew dropped many a lance	E
Of light and glimmering drove	N
	-
Star arrows through the warmth and musk	P
That sparkled on the moss and loam	Q
And shook from bells of wildflower foam	Q
The bee like music of the dusk	P
And rimmed with spars the lily's dome	Q
And morning glory's tusk	P
	-
And soft as cobwebs I beheld	L
The moths they say that fairies use	E
As coursers come by ones and twos	E
From stables of the blossoms belled	L
While busily among the dews	E
Where croaked the toad and swelled	L
	-
The nimble spider climbed his thread	L
Or diagramed a dim design	R
Or flung above a slender line	R
To launder dews on Overhead	L
An insect drew its dagger fine	R
And stabbed the stillness dead	L
	-
And there far at the lane's dark end	L
A light showed like a glow worm lamp	S
And through the darkness summer damp	S
An old rose garden seemed to send	L
Sweet word to me as of a camp	S
Of dreams around the bend	L
	-
And there a gate whereat mid deeps	E
Of honeysuckle dewiness	E
She stood whose lips were mine to press	E
How long ago for whom still leaps	E
My heart with longing and no less	E
With passion here that sleeps	E
	-
The smiling face of girlhood eyes	E
Of wine warm brown and heavy hair	F
Auburn as autumn in his lair	F
Took me again with swift surprise	E
As oft they took me coming there	F
In days of bygone ties	E
	-
The cricket and the katydid	L
Pierced silence with their stinging sounds	E
The firefly went its golden rounds	E
Where lifting slow one sleepy lid	L
The baby rosebud dreamed and mounds	E
Of lilies breathed half hid	L
	-
The white moon waded through a cloud	L
Like some pale woman through a pool	T
And in the darkness close and cool	T
I felt a form against me bowed	L
Her breast to mine and deep and full	U
Her maiden heart beat loud	L
	-
I never dreamed it was a trick	V
That fancy played me memory	W
And moonlight Yet it well may be	W
The old road too that night was quick	V
With dreams that were reality	W
To every stone and stick	V
	-
For instantly when overhead	L
The moon swam there where soft had gleamed	L
That vision now no creature seemed	L
Only a ruined house and shed	L
Was it a dream the old road dreamed	L
Or I of her long dead	L
