From Cove To Cove

Topics: classic

The road leads up a hill through many a brake,     Blueberry and barberry, bay and sassafras,     By an abandoned quarry, where, like glass,     A round pool lies; an isolated lake,     A mirror for what presences, that make     Their wildwood toilets here! The road is grass     Gray-scarred with stone: great bowlders, as we pass,     Slope burly shoulders towards us. Cedars shake     Wild balsam from their tresses; there and here     Clasping a glimpse of ocean and of shore     In arms of swaying green. Below, at last,     Beside the sea, with derrick and with pier,     By heaps of granite, noise of drill and bore,     A Cape Ann town, towering with many a mast.
