Poems (Rumell)/The open road
THE OPEN ROAD
Ah the freedom you feel on the open road!
Close fellowship with cattail and goldenrod.
And the Autumn tints of deep brown and gold
Show the Summer gone, as a tale that is told.
Close fellowship with cattail and goldenrod.
And the Autumn tints of deep brown and gold
Show the Summer gone, as a tale that is told.
With the long road winding so far, it seems
To give promise at its end, of the house of Dreams!
But we never would dare, enter this Abode
With lesser Vision, than that of the open road!
To give promise at its end, of the house of Dreams!
But we never would dare, enter this Abode
With lesser Vision, than that of the open road!
Along the way, the rose gold and green
Might be wished on, the earth, by a fairy queen:
And the Inspiration one finds, show her mode
Of giving courage to the traveler on the open road.
Might be wished on, the earth, by a fairy queen:
And the Inspiration one finds, show her mode
Of giving courage to the traveler on the open road.
If we kept in our heart, nature's rose and gold,
Our thoughts to our fellows, would never grow cold.
We would help, each the other, to carry his load,
And spread the good fellowship of the open road!
Our thoughts to our fellows, would never grow cold.
We would help, each the other, to carry his load,
And spread the good fellowship of the open road!
