Living
Whither
From An American Anthology (1900)
Living
Whither leads this pathway, little one?—
It runs just on and on, is never done.
Whither leads this pathway, mistress fair?—
That path to town, sir; to the village square.
Whither leads this pathway, father old?—
To the white quiet of the churchyard fold.
