A Lone Walk

Previous
WHEN I had left the city street
And lost the open road,
I breathed contentedly and deep
As one who shifts a load.
I wasn’t caring where I went
Or where I meant to go.
But I was tossing from my path
The brown leaves drifted so.
When I was wondering aimlessly
Just what my quest would bring.
I saw a pink arbutus bloom
And heard a warbler sing.
The sky seemed blue and higher here
Than it was back in town.
And Oh! the wind delighted me,
The way it blew around.
And then I sought the grey glen road.
Went with it thru the wood.
And in its long green isles I walked
And worshipfully stood.
My neighbor questioned from the fence
What I had seen out there?
I said I sought adventure
And I found it everywhere.
