Love

The North Trail

by Gilbert Parker 1862–1932

From Embers (1895)

Love

“Oh, where did you get them, the bonny, bonny roses
That blossom in your cheeks, and the morning in your eyes?”
“I got them on the North Trail, the road that never closes,
That widens to the seven gold gates of Paradise.”
“O come, let us camp in the North Trail together,
With the night-fires lit and the tent-pegs down.”
