     Look�察�Dear�察�how bright the moonlight is to´night� �See where it casts 

the shadow of that tree Far out upon the grass。                And every gust Of light 

night   wind   comes   laden   with   the   scent   Of   opening   flowers   which   never 

bloom      by  day�此  �Night´scented       stocks�察  �and   four´o'clocks�察    �and   that  Pale 

yellow disk�察�upreared on its tall stalk�察�The evening primrose�察�comrade of 

the   stars。   It   seems   as   though   the   garden   which   you    love   Were   like   a 

swinging      censer�察   �its  incense    Floating    before   us   as  a  reverent    act   To 

sanctify and bless our night of love。 Tell me once more you love me�察�that 't

own free will That you are here�察�and that you like to be Just here�察�with me�察�

so�察�And yet I would not have it goodness�察�rather Excess of selfishness in 

you to need Me through and through�察�as flowers need the sun。 I wonder 

can it really be that you And I are here alone�察�and that the night Is full of 

hours�察�and all the world asleep�察�And none can call to you to come away�察�

the sharpness of this joy�拭�Dear Heart�察�I love you�察�worship you as though I 

were a priest before a holy shrine。 I'm glad that you are beautiful�察�although 

Were you not lovely still I needs must love�察�But you are all things�察�it must

                                           Roads 



     I know a country laced with roads�察           �They join the hills and they span 

the brooks�察�They  weave   like   a   shuttle   between broad   fields�察        �And   slide 

discreetly through hidden nooks。 They are canopied like a Persian dome 

And   carpeted      with   orient  dyes。   They   are   myriad´voiced�察     �and   musical�察�

And   scented   with   happiest   memories。   O   Winding   roads   that   I   know   so 

well�察   �Every   twist   and   turn�察  �every   hollow   and   hill�   �They   are   set   in   my 

heart to a pulsing tune        Gay as a honey´bee humming in June。 'T is the 

rhythmic   beat of   a   horse's   feet   And the   pattering   paws   of   a   sheep´dog 

bitch�察�'T is the creaking trees�察�and the singing breeze�察             �And the rustle of 

leaves in the road´side ditch。 

     A cow in a meadow shakes her bell             And the notes cut sharp through 

the autumn air�察�Each chattering brook bears a fleet of leaves                Their cargo 

the   rainbow�察  �and   just   now   where    The   sun   splashed   bright   on   the   road 

ahead A startled rabbit quivered and fled。            O Uphill roads and roads that 

dip down� �You curl your sun´spattered length along�察                �And your march is 

beaten into a song By the softly ringing hoofs of a horse              And the panting 

breath of the dogs I love。 The pageant of Autumn follows its course                   And 

the blue sky of Autumn laughs above。 

     And the song and the country become as one�察              �I see it as music�察�I hear

it   as   light�察  �Prismatic   and   shimmering�察  �trembling   to   tone�察    �The   land   of 

desire�察�my soul's delight。 And always it beats in my listening ears                    With 

the   gentle   thud   of   a   horse's   stride�察  �With   the   swift´falling   steps   of   many 

dogs�察    �Following�察�following at my side。 O Roads that journey to fairyland� �

Radiant   highways   whose   vistas   gleam�察  �Leading   me   on�察  �under   crimson

     How   still   it   is� �Sunshine   itself   here   falls   In   quiet   shafts   of   light 

through     the   high   trees  Which�察    �arching�察   �make    a  roof   above    the   walls 

Changing from sun to shadow as each breeze Lingers a moment�察�charmed 

by the strange sight Of an Italian theatre�察�storied�察�seer             Of vague romance�察�

and time's   long   history�察�Where  tiers of   grass´grown   seats   sprinkled   with 

white�察    �Sweet´scented clover�察�form a broken sphere                Grouped round the 

stage in hushed expectancy。 

     What sound is that which echoes through the wood�拭                    �Is it the reedy 

note of an oaten pipe�拭�Perchance a minute more will see the brood                         Of 

the shaggy forest god�察�and on his lip Will rest the rushes he is wont to play。 

His train in woven baskets bear ripe fruit             And weave a dance with ropes 

of gray acorns�察�So light their touch the grasses scarcely sway                 As they the 

measure tread to the lilting flute。         Alas� �'t is only Fancy thus adorns。 

     A  cloud   drifts   idly  over the   shining   sun。    How  damp   it seems�察  �how 

silent�察�still�察�and strange� �Surely 't was here some tragedy was done�察                  �And 

here the chorus sang each coming change�拭�Sure this is deep in some sweet�察�

southern wood�察        �These are not pines�察�but cypress tall and dark�察             �That is 

no   thrush   which   sings   so   rapturously�察  �But   the   nightingale   in   his   most 

passionate   mood        Bursting     his   little  heart  with  anguish。     Hark�     �The 

tread of sandalled feet comes noiselessly。 

     The silence almost is a sound�察�and dreams              Take on the semblances of 

finite   things�察  �So   potent   is   the   spell   that   what   but   seems Elsewhere�察  �is 

lifted   here   on   Fancy's   wings。 The   little   woodland   theatre   seems   to   wait�察�

All tremulous   with hope and   wistful   joy�察         �For  something that   is   sure  to

                               The Road to Avignon 



     A   Minstrel     stands   on   a  marble    stair�察 �Blown     by   the  bright   wind�察�

debonair�察�Below lies the sea�察�a sapphire floor�察�Above on the terrace a turret 

door Frames a lady�察�listless and wan�察�But fair for the eye to rest upon。 The 

minstrel plucks at his silver strings�察�And looking up to the lady�察�sings�此 �

Down       the  road    to  Avignon�察          �The    long�察   �long   road   to   Avignon�察�

Across the bridge to Avignon�察             �One morning in the spring。 

     The octagon tower casts a shade Cool and gray like a cutlass blade�察�In 

sun´baked vines the cicalas spin�察�The little green lizards run out and in。 A 

sail dips over the ocean's rim�察�And bubbles rise to the fountain's brim。 The 

minstrel   touches   his   silver   strings�察�And   gazing   up   to   the   lady�察  �sings�此   �

Down       the  road    to  Avignon�察          �The    long�察   �long   road   to   Avignon�察�

Across the bridge to Avignon�察             �One morning in the spring。 

     Slowly she walks to the balustrade�察�Idly notes how the blossoms fade 

In the sun's caress�察�then crosses where The shadow shelters a carven chair。 

Within its curve�察  �supine she lies�察�And wearily closes   her tired eyes。 The 

minstrel   beseeches   his   silver   strings�察  �And   holding   the   lady   spellbound�察�

sings�此         �Down      the  road   to  Avignon�察        �The     long�察  �long   road   to 

Avignon�察         �Across     the   bridge   to  Avignon�察        �One     morning     in  the 

spring。 

     Clouds sail over the distant trees�察�Petals are shaken down by the breeze�察�

They fall on the terrace tiles like snow�察�The sighing of waves sounds�察�far 

below。 A  humming´bird kisses   the  lips   of   a  rose Then laden   with   honey 

and love he goes。 The minstrel woos with his silver strings�察�And climbing 

up to the lady�察�sings�此         �Down the road to Avignon�察              �The long�察�long 

road to Avignon�察           �Across the bridge to Avignon�察              �One  morning in 

the spring。 

     Step   by   step�察  �and   he   comes   to   her�察  �Fearful   lest   she   suddenly   stir。 

Sunshine and silence�察�and each to each�察�The lute and his singing their only
