Oh, the Vagabond Road, secn it? How describe it in words? Green, capricious, enchanting, Haunted by sweet singing birds. Still pursuing its pleasure : By rock, pasture and fall, Escaping, ascending, Deploying—and, where I know not, but surely Deliciously ending (So be it!) in nothing at all. have you Dusty and safe is the highway, Thrice respectable, too; Here are clustered men's dwellings, Church and market in view, 1, too, travel the turnpike And there fix my abode— Yet sometimes, perchance, “1 halt for a moment, When no one is by, and throw g long glance far, far down the Vagabond Road.
