It serves <br>Children for looking down the long smooth steep, <br>Between the legs of beech and yew, to where <br>A fallen tree checks the sight: while men and women <br>Content themselves with the road and what they see <br>Over the bank, and what the children tell. <br>The path, winding like silver, trickles on, <br>Bordered and even invaded by thinnest moss <br>That tries to cover roots and crumbling chalk <br>With gold, olive, and emerald, but in vain. <br>The children wear it. They have flattened the bank <br>On top, and silvered it between the moss <br>With the current of their feet, year after year. <br>But the road is houseless, and leads not to school. <br>To see a child is rare there, and the eye <br>Has but the road, the wood that overhangs <br>And underyawns it, and the path that looks <br>As if it led on to some legendary <br>Or fancied place where men have wished to go <br>And stay; till, sudden, it ends where the wood ends.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Edward+Thomas">Edward Thomas</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=381263" data-title="The Path de Edward Thomas" data-description="RUNNING along a bank, a parapet That saves from the precipitous wood below The level road, there is a path.
