there 28 a way the cresk curis through the low hills, 
And a way the road follows along the sparkling creek, 
And the hills themselves lap over one another: 
On and On, CO the -en@aor the world, farther 
(hen the eyes can reagh or the voice can speak; 
And the sugar maples make canopies of shade : 
Over the country road in quarter-mile lengths 
(Sons of some srandsires ancient thoughtfulness) 
TU, passing bergen the rows, you stop to bless 
Their rugged trumks and feel thelr thousand strengths. 
And there is a way the grass grows, and the time 
EU ie out. and the way tne rail and wire fences run, 
And the houses look, and the barns and the carts, 
And the lanes stretch back to where the pasture starts-- 
Yes, these are common things all, not one phenomenon, 
But take me, blindfold if. you wish, over the land; 
Over the forests, the water, the sand, the loam; 
Hake me LOMmnis place where the hills lie thus to 
the sky, 
Arid> though i seejno face to tell it by 
I shall know for tertain that I am home.
