ROADWAYS

One road leads to London,

One road runs to Wales,

My road leads me seawards

To the white dipping sails.

One road leads to the river,

As it goes singing slow;

 

My roads leads to shipping,

Where the bronzed sailors go.

My road calls me, lures me

West, east, south and north;

Most roads lead men homewards,

My road leads me forth.
