I strolled with my fancy a bit today Across the hills, by a lost highway That was lined with trees and shadow barred Green with grasses and daisy starred! It wasn't a highway that one would know Or even where anyone else could go, For it led over the hills that I dreamed were there And the flowers were only fancy fair! Where I visioned a tree, I found it so... And merely a thought made the blossoms grow, So really it wasn't so strange, you see, That you should be walking there with me! And that hand in hand our way we found Over the space of enchanted ground; The beat of our hearts an echo's ring To the lilting notes that the larks would sing! The willows were weeping, but not from woe, Simply because we had named them so... For us their leaves were fairy lace The wind blew,laughing,across our face! The way was crooked,and each new turn Was veiled with leaves and fronds of fern, And here and there a pool would shine As blue as the eyes you turned to mine! So now when I'm weary, I've only to start Afresh on a journey with eager heart, Out of the shadows and into the day... And over the hills of my fancied way! |
