Little-worn roads used to meander
Like the ancient streams through low valleys.
They were accustomed to climbing the hill-slopes,
And they seemed to drop into nothingness.
We rode the white horse of adventure
When accepting their whimsical challenge.
Fragrance belonged to the untrampled fields
That bordered their deep-rutted edges.
Sunshine ran in the unending bird-highways
And played peep-eye through the leaf-meshes.
Where have the old roads gone to?
