The Roman road - England

F. Hart

As he went down the Roman Road

In March or thereabout,

A slender, wild, unbroken gold,

The daffodils were out.

Sudden along the Roman Road

He saw the wind come down,

Behind the golden daffodils,

And drive them into town.

A moment. Yet almost it seemed —

That moment was of old;

A company of spears went by,

All Roman, and all gold.
