The roads are laid of travelers’ song,
That danced upon their feet –
And Nature took the prize she sought
Through every Joy so sweet –

I walked along the sunny path,
Where flowers bloomed so fair —
With every breath, I grasped the air
That filled my heart with care –

Such joy awaits in every lane
Where Nature’s treasures peek –
And hearts find solace in the dream
Where life offers us a peak –

• Emily Dickinson
