Description:
THE LITTLE ROAD A little road was straying Across a little hill. I asked, "May I go with you, Road?" It answered, "If you will." 'Twas travel-stained and shabby, And dust was on its face. Said I: "How fine to wander free To every lovely place! "Or if you're off to mountains Or if you're off to sea, Or if you're bound across the world, It's all the same to me." We loitered in the sunlight, We journeyed on together; The sky was like a bluebird's wing, The wind was like a feather. We passed a ruddy robin Who called, "How do you do?" Some daisies shook their bonnets back And begged, "Ah, take us too!" A squirrel briefly joined us, A brook came hurrying down; We wandered through a meadow green And by a busy town. When dusky twilight met us, No feet so slow as mine. "Why, there's a little house," I said, "With windows all ashine. "Perhaps, since night is nearing, I'd rather rest than roam." "I knew you would," said Little Road; "That's why I brought you home."
