On the Road by Ninon Neckar</DIV>

Away we go on our wheels, boys,
As free as the roving breeze,
And over our pathway steals, boys,
The music of wind-swept trees;
And round by the woods and over the hill
Where the ground so gently swells.
From a thousand throats in echoing notes<BR /><DIV>
   The songster melody wells.</DIV>

Along we speed o’er the road, boys, —
The road that we know so well;
Those oaks know the whir of our wheels, boys,
And they welcome the cycle’s bell;
And down in the hollow the streamlet flows
In rollicking humor along;
While flinging its wavelets’ cadence up<BR /><DIV>
   To challenge the cycler’s song.</DIV>

Above us we feel in the air, boys,
A spirit that’s kin with ours, —
A spirit that gives to our life, boys,
The brightest of earth’s best flowers;
For the health and strength that are beauty’s own,
That are stamped with Nature’s seal,
Are securely bound and circled round
In the spokes of the flying wheel.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C887C1E1-ED3B-477E-AF64-188F5C318FF8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
