An old lost lane where can it leadA
To stony pastures where the weedB
Purples its plume or sails its seedB
And from one knoll the vetch makes greenC
Trailing its glimmering ribbon onD
Under deep boughs a creek is seenC
Flecked with the silver of the dawnE
-
An old green lane where can it goF
Into the valley land belowF
Where red the wilding lilies blowF
Where under willows shadowy greyG
The blue crane wades the heron glidesH
And in each pool the minnows swayG
Twinkling their slim and silvery sidesH
-
An old railed lane where does it endI
Beyond the log bridge at the bendI
Towards which our young feet used to wendI
Where 'neath a dappled sycamoreJ
The old mill thrashed its foaming wheelK
And smiling at its corn strewn doorJ
The miller leant all white with mealK
-
An old wild lane I know it wellL
The creek the bridge across the dellL
The old house on the orchard swellL
The pine board porch above the creekM
Where oft we used to sit and dreamN
Two children fair of hair and cheekM
Dropping our flowers in the streamN
-
An old old lane I follow itO
In fancy and where branches knitO
Behold a boy and girl who sitO
Beside the mill dam near the millP
Or in a flat boat old and wornQ
Oar lilyward I see them stillP
Her dress is rent his trousers tornQ
-
An old lost lane Come let us findR
As here I have it in my mindR
As boyhood left it far behindR
Yes let us follow it againS
And meet her wild of foot and hairT
The tomboy sweet as sun and rainU
Whom once we worshipped to despairT
