The Vanished Road + 

We’re wending the trail of the vanishing road, + 

With a song and a shout, just to lighten the load, + 

That lies in the heart, filled with queries and cares, + 

For never a traveler knows where he fares. + 

But on with a jest, and rollicksome cheer, + 

With laughter that leaps, as a veil, for the tear; + 

The world’s weary caravan finds that abode + 

That lies at the end of the vanishing road. + 
