THE WAY TO THE ARBUTUS, by CATHERINE CATE COBLENTZ First Line: I cannot remember the names of roads and hills Last Line: Past the place I found a gentian in the rain. | |||
I cannot remember the names of roads and hills, I remember only where the wild flowers grow; By an old stone cellar there are daffodils And bluets where a pasture brook runs slow. I cannot remember which is east or west, I remember only where a lady's-slipper stood; And I recall arbutus, growing best Around a certain corner of a certain wood. I cannot remember the path that winds along there, I remember only a wild rose in the lane Where you cross by a thicket beyond the maidenhair, Past the place I found a gentian in the rain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COMBINATIONS by CATHERINE CATE COBLENTZ GOD by CATHERINE CATE COBLENTZ NATURE'S SORROW CURE by CATHERINE CATE COBLENTZ STONE WALLS OF NEW ENGLAND by CATHERINE CATE COBLENTZ MONUMENT MOUNTAIN by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT ADDRESS TO THE UNCO GUID, OR THE RIGIDLY RIGHTEOUS by ROBERT BURNS ODE TO EVENING by WILLIAM COLLINS (1721-1759) THE BRIDGE BUILDER by WILL ALLEN DROMGOOLE THE OLD MAN'S WISH by WALTER POPE |
