the best tonic I know is,
AN OLD COUNTRY ROAD
Like a ribbon unfurled and flung
to the breeze
I weary of wide paved road,
In fancy drift back to a winding
trail
And a weather-beaten country
abode;
It seems my troubled mind finds
rest
As seeking cedar shaded isle,
Find peace and quiet from laws
and codes .
Unknown to city rules and styles I
And resting there in the quiet;

It seems that I, even I
Grow kin to towering trees and
hills
And see God in the sky.
