A Road of France

Charles L. O’Donnell

ALL day the carts go by along the road

That bear a regal though a sorry load—

Long pine-trees, stripped of all save of their crown

Which in the trodden mire is trailing down:

Young kings that knew the mountains and the stars,

Dragged captive at the chariot-wheels of Mars.
