VAGRANT VERSE
AFOOT. Long is (he road T.vixt town and totn that run?, Travelled by many a lordly cavalcade, With trappings, gay, and rich caparisons, Jester and squire, and laughing knight am! maid; With gallant dash and stir they go their way: 1 trudge afoot thro’ all the drouth of day. For me. the misty meadow? fresh with morn, The tramp thro’ noontide heat to evening gray, The far-seen smoke from the day’s goal upborne. The halt, the friendly greeting by the way, The distant hill behind far hill descried. The road by day, the rest at eventide. I know each wayside wood, each moorland brown, Each hidden byway and reposeful nook Where I may linger when the sun goes down. . , . ■—C. Fox Smith.
