The paths that lead nowhere at all,

(Though I never have gone on them nevertheless

They are admirable, and so small!)

I go out at midnight in motors

But, being a Roosevelt, I drive

Straight ahead on the neatly paved highway,

For I wish with much speed to arrive.

Oh, the joy and effulgence of Small Paths

Surrounded with Birds and with Trees

I would love to go down on a Small Path
